Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 26, 2020, BMC Stock Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“BMC”), Builders FirstSource, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Builders FirstSource”), and Boston Merger Sub I Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Builders FirstSource (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which BMC and Builders FirstSource will combine in an all-stock merger transaction. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), Merger Sub will merge with and into BMC, with BMC continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Builders FirstSource (the “Merger”).

At the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of BMC common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “BMC Common Stock”), will automatically be converted into the right to receive 1.3125 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Builders FirstSource (the “BLDR Common Stock”). No fractional shares of BLDR Common Stock will be issued in the Merger, and holders of shares of BMC Common Stock will receive cash in lieu of any such fractional shares. Upon consummation of the Merger, Builders FirstSource’s stockholders will own approximately 57% and BMC’s stockholders will own approximately 43% of the combined company.

Each outstanding BMC stock option held by a current employee or service-provider will become, at the Effective Time, an option to purchase shares of BLDR Common Stock, with the number of shares and the exercise price adjusted by the Exchange Ratio. Each outstanding BMC stock option held by any former BMC employee or service-provider will be converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of BMC Common Stock subject to such BMC stock option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the excess of the market value of 1.3125 shares of BLDR Common Stock over the applicable exercise price per share of such option, subject to applicable withholding taxes. Each outstanding BMC time-vested and performance-vested restricted stock unit will vest and settle at the Effective Time in a number of shares of BLDR Common Stock equal to the number of shares of BMC Common Stock otherwise issuable upon settlement of such BMC restricted stock unit (assuming target level of performance for performance-vested awards), multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, and subject to applicable withholding taxes.

The Merger Agreement provides that, upon consummation of the Merger, the board of directors of Builders FirstSource will consist of twelve members, seven of whom will be Builders FirstSource’s directors and five of whom will be BMC’s directors, in each case, immediately prior to the Effective Time. For a period of ninety days after the Effective Time (the “CEO Transition Period”), Mr. M. Chad Crow will continue to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer. Upon expiration of the CEO Transition Period, Mr. David E. Flitman, BMC’s current President and Chief Executive Officer, will become Builders FirstSource’s President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Paul S. Levy will continue to serve as Chairman of Builders FirstSource’s board of directors. The combined company will operate under the name Builders FirstSource, Inc. and will be headquartered in Dallas, Texas, while maintaining key functional corporate centers of excellence in both Raleigh, North Carolina and Denver, Colorado.

The respective boards of directors of BMC and Builders FirstSource have unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and recommended to their respective stockholders that, in the case of BMC, they adopt the Merger Agreement or, in the case of Builders FirstSource, they approve the issuance of BLDR Common Stock in the Merger (the “Stock Issuance”). In connection with the Stock Issuance, Builders FirstSource’s board of directors has also approved and recommended to its stockholders that they adopt an amendment of Builders FirstSource’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of BLDR Common Stock (the “Charter Amendment”).

Consummation of the Merger is subject to certain conditions, including (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by BMC’s stockholders, (ii) the approval of the Stock Issuance and adoption of the Charter Amendment by Builders FirstSource’s stockholders, (iii) the absence of certain legal impediments, (iv) the expiration or termination of the required waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (v) the approval for listing on the NASDAQ Stock Market of the shares of the BLDR Common Stock to be issued as consideration in the Merger, (vi) the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by Builders FirstSource for the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of the shares of BLDR Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Merger, (vii) the absence of a material adverse effect on BMC or Builders FirstSource, (viii) receipt by each party of an opinion from its counsel to the effect that the Merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), and (ix) other conditions customary for a transaction of this type.

The Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the Internal Revenue Code so that none of BMC, Builders FirstSource, Merger Sub, or any of the BMC stockholders generally will recognize any gain or loss on the issuance or receipt of BLDR Common Stock in the Merger, except that BMC stockholders generally may recognize gain or loss with respect to cash received in lieu of fractional shares of BLDR Common Stock.

The parties have made customary representations, warranties, and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including covenants regarding the conduct of their respective businesses during the pre-closing period and their use of reasonable best efforts to consummate the Merger.

The Merger Agreement contains restrictions on BMC’s and Builders FirstSource’s ability to (i) solicit competing acquisition proposals and (ii) subject to certain exceptions if their respective boards of directors determine it would be inconsistent with their fiduciary duties, to participate in any discussions or negotiations, or provide any non-public information, or take other actions in furtherance of or relating to any competing acquisition proposals, or change, withdraw, qualify, or modify the recommendation by BMC’s or Builders FirstSource’s board of directors to their respective stockholders to adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the Stock Issuance, respectively.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both BMC and Builders FirstSource, including (i) if the Merger is not consummated on or before the “outside date” of May 26, 2021 (subject to extension to August 26, 2021, under certain circumstances), (ii) if the required approval of BMC’s stockholders or Builders FirstSource’s stockholders is not obtained, (iii) if any law or order prohibiting the Merger or the Stock Issuance has become final and non-appealable, (iv) if the board of directors of the other party changes its recommendation of the Merger prior to the receipt of its stockholder approval, (v) if the other party breaches its obligation not to solicit competing acquisition proposals in any material respect, or (vi) if the other party breaches its representations or warranties or fails to perform its covenants and such breach would cause a failure of the related closing condition and either is not curable by the outside date or is not cured within thirty days of notice of the breach. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement, under certain specified circumstances, BMC may be required to pay a termination fee of $66 million to Builders FirstSource or Builders FirstSource may be required to pay a termination fee of $100 million to BMC.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be a complete description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference. The Merger Agreement has been included to provide security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about BMC, Builders FirstSource, or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties, and covenants by each of the parties to the Merger Agreement. These representations, warranties, and covenants were made solely for the benefit of the other parties to the Merger Agreement, are subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties, and (i) are not intended to be treated as categorical statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate, (ii) may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the parties that differ from what might be viewed as material to stockholders, and (iii) were made only as of the date of the Merger Agreement or such other date or dates as may be specified in the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, you should not rely on the representations, warranties, and covenants, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of BMC or Builders FirstSource. Further, the Merger Agreement should not be read alone but instead should be read in conjunction with the other information regarding the Merger Agreement, the Merger, BMC, Builders FirstSource, their respective affiliates, and their respective businesses that will be contained in, or incorporated by reference into, the registration statement on Form S-4 and the joint proxy statement/prospectus included therein that will be filed with the SEC, as well as in the Forms 10-K, Forms 10-Q and other filings that BMC and Builders FirstSource may file with the SEC.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On August 26, 2020, BMC and Builders FirstSource entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with David E. Flitman, the current President and Chief Executive Officer of BMC (the “Flitman Employment Agreement”), which, subject to consummation of the Merger, will become effective as of the Effective Time and supersede in all respects Mr. Flitman’s current employment agreement with BMC, dated August 23, 2018 (the “Prior Employment Agreement”). BMC is party to the Flitman Employment Agreement solely for purposes of the agreement that the Prior Employment Agreement will terminate effective as of the Effective Time.

The foregoing description of the Flitman Employment Agreement does not purport to be a complete description and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Flitman Employment Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated into this Item 5.02 by reference.

Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This report, in addition to historical information, contains “forward-looking statements” (as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) regarding, among other things, future events or the future financial performance of BMC and Builders FirstSource. Words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “plans,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “believe,” or the negative of these terms, and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future plans, actions or events identify forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict or quantify, and such risks and uncertainties could cause actual events or results to differ materially from the events or results described in the forward-looking statements, including risks, or uncertainties related to the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (also known as “COVID-19”) pandemic and its impact on the business operations of BMC and Builders FirstSource and on local, national and global economies, the growth strategies of BMC and Builders FirstSource, fluctuations of commodity prices and prices of the products of BMC and Builders FirstSource as a result of national and international economic and other conditions, or the significant dependence of both companies’ revenues and operating results on, among other things, the state of the homebuilding industry and repair and remodeling activity, lumber prices and the economy. Neither BMC nor Builders FirstSource may succeed in addressing these and other risks or uncertainties.

Forward-looking statements relating to the proposed business combination between BMC and Builders FirstSource include, but are not limited to: statements about the benefits of the proposed business combination between BMC and Builders FirstSource, including future financial and operating results; the plans, objectives, expectations and intentions of BMC and Builders FirstSource; the expected timing of completion of the proposed business combination; and other statements relating to the proposed merger that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to BMC and Builders FirstSource and involve estimates, expectations and projections. Investors are cautioned that all such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and important factors could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. With respect to the proposed business combination between BMC and Builders FirstSource, these factors could include, but are not limited to: the risk that BMC and Builders FirstSource may be unable to obtain governmental and regulatory approvals required for the business combination, or that required governmental and regulatory approvals may delay the business combination or result in the imposition of conditions that could reduce the anticipated benefits from the proposed business combination or cause the parties to abandon the proposed business combination; the risk that a condition to closing of the business combination may not be satisfied, including as a result of the failure to obtain approval of stockholders of BMC and Builders FirstSource on the expected terms and schedule or at all; the length of time necessary to consummate the proposed business combination, which may be longer than anticipated for various reasons; the risk that the businesses will not be integrated successfully; the risk that the cost savings, synergies and growth from the proposed business combination may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; the assumptions on which the parties’ estimates of future results of the combined business have been based may prove to be incorrect in a number of material ways, which could result in an inability to realize the expected benefits of the proposed business combination or exposure to material liabilities; the diversion of management time on issues related to the business combination; the effect of future regulatory or legislative actions on the companies or the industries in which they operate; the risk that the credit ratings of the combined company may be different from what the parties expect; economic and foreign exchange rate volatility; changes in the general economic environment, or social or political conditions, that could affect the

businesses; the potential effect of the announcement or consummation of the proposed business combination on relationships with customers, suppliers, competitors, lenders, landlords, management and other employees; the ability to attract new customers and retain existing customers in the manner anticipated or at all; the ability to hire and retain key personnel; reliance on and integration of information technology systems; the risks associated with assumptions the parties make in connection with the parties’ critical accounting estimates and legal proceedings; certain restrictions during the pendency of the business combination that may affect the ability of BMC and Builders FirstSource to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; and the potential of international unrest, economic downturn or effects of anticipated tax rates, raw material costs or availability, benefit or retirement plan costs, or other regulatory compliance costs.

Additional information concerning other risk factors pertaining to BMC and Builders FirstSource is also contained in the parties’ respective most recently filed Annual Reports on Form 10-K, subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and other information filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Many of these risks and uncertainties are beyond BMC’s or Builders FirstSource’s ability to control or predict. Because of these risks and uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Furthermore, neither BMC nor Builders FirstSource undertakes any obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this report. Nothing in this report is intended, or is to be construed, as a profit forecast or to be interpreted to mean that the earnings per share of the common stock of BMC or of the common stock of Builders FirstSource for the current or any future financial years, or the earnings per share of the common stock of the combined company, will necessarily match or exceed the historical published earnings per share of the common stock of BMC or Builders FirstSource, as applicable. Annualized, pro forma, projected and estimated numbers are used for illustrative purpose only, are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning BMC, Builders FirstSource, the proposed business combination, the combined company or other matters and attributable to BMC, Builders FirstSource or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above.

Section 3.1 Effect on Capital Stock of the Company and Merger Sub.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action by any Party or any other Person (including the Company Stockholders or the Parent Stockholders):

(i) each share of Company Common Stock owned of record or Beneficially Owned by Parent, Merger Sub, or the Company (including shares held as treasury stock or otherwise) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically canceled and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be paid with respect thereto;

(ii) each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (except for shares of Company Common Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(i)) (each, a “Converted Share”) shall be (1) automatically canceled and shall cease to exist and (2) converted into the right to receive, subject to Section 3.3, 1.3125 (such ratio, as may be adjusted under Section 3.2, the “Exchange Ratio”) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Merger Consideration”); and

(iii) each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, each holder of (x) a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any share of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”) or (y) any share of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form (each, a “Book-Entry Share”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive (i) the Merger Consideration, subject to compliance with Section 3.4, (ii) any cash in lieu of fractional shares under Section 3.3 and (iii) any dividends or other distributions payable under Section 3.4(d).

9

and the holders of Company Common Stock (including Company Equity Awards) the same economic effect as contemplated by Section 3.1 and Section 3.6 prior to such event. Nothing in this Section 3.2 shall be construed to permit any Party to take any action that is otherwise prohibited or restricted by any other provision of this Agreement.

Section 3.3 Fractional Shares. No certificate or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of any Converted Share into the right to receive the Merger Consideration under Section 3.1(a)(ii), and such fractional shares shall not entitle the holder thereof to (a) any whole or fractional share of Parent Common Stock, (b) vote any whole or fractional share of Parent Common Stock, or (c) any other rights of a holder of shares of Parent Common Stock. As promptly as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent, acting as agent for the holders of Converted Shares that otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares of Parent Common Stock under Section 3.1(a)(ii), shall aggregate all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock that would otherwise have been required to be distributed under Section 3.1(a)(ii) and cause them to be sold on NASDAQ at then-prevailing prices in the manner provided in the immediately following sentence. The sale of such fractional shares of Parent Common Stock by the Exchange Agent, acting as agent for the holders of Converted Shares that otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares of Parent Common Stock under Section 3.1(a)(ii), pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be executed in round lots to the extent practicable, and until the proceeds of sale or sales have been distributed to such holders, the Exchange Agent shall hold such proceeds in trust for such holders. Each holder of Converted Shares that otherwise would have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock under Section 3.1(a)(ii) shall, in lieu thereof, be entitled to receive from the proceeds from such sales by the Exchange Agent, rounded to the nearest whole cent and without interest, an amount equal to such holder’s proportionate interest in the proceeds from such sales. As soon as reasonably practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of Converted Shares in lieu of any fractional share interests in Parent Common Stock, the Exchange Agent shall make available such amounts, without interest, to the holders of Converted Shares entitled to receive such cash.

Section 3.4 Exchange of Company Common Stock.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall enter into a customary exchange agent agreement with the Company’s transfer agent or a financial institution designated by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”).

(b) (i) At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Exchange Agent the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which Converted Shares are to be converted under Section 3.1(a)(ii), and (ii) after the Effective Time, on the appropriate payment date, if applicable, Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent an amount of cash equal to the amount of any dividends or other distributions payable under Section 3.4(d) on the shares of Parent Common Stock deposited under the foregoing clause (i) (such shares of Parent Common Stock and cash (if any) deposited with the Exchange Agent under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the “Exchange Fund”). The Parties intend that the Exchange Agent shall deliver the Merger Consideration to the holders of Converted Shares out of the Exchange Fund pursuant to the exchange agent agreement contemplated by Section 3.4(a). Except as provided in Section 3.4(i), the Parties intend that the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(c) Exchange Procedures.

(i) Certificates. Parent shall instruct the Exchange Agent to mail, as soon as reasonably practicable (and in no event more than ten (10) Business Days) after the Effective Time, to each holder of record of a Certificate whose shares of Company Common Stock were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration under Section 3.1, (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof under Section 3.4(h)) and shall be in customary form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof under Section 3.4(h)), together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as shall be required by such letter of transmittal or otherwise as reasonably required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and Parent shall instruct the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver in exchange thereof as promptly as reasonably practicable, (A) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be in book-entry form unless a certificate is requested) representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares that such holder has the right to receive in exchange for the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(ii) (after taking into account all other Certificates surrendered by such holder under this Section 3.4(c)(i)), (B) any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 3.4(d)(i), and (C) cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock payable under Section 3.3, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock that has not been registered in the transfer records of the Company, delivery of the Merger Consideration may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered only if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer, and the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the delivery of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax was paid or is not applicable. No interest shall be paid or accrue on any cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate hereunder.

(ii) Book-Entry Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any holder of a Book-Entry Share that is a Converted Share shall not be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent. In lieu thereof, each holder of record of one (1) or more Book-Entry Shares that are Converted Shares shall automatically upon the Effective Time be entitled to receive, and Parent shall instruct the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, (A) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be in book-entry form unless a certificate is requested) representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive for such Converted Shares pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(ii), (B) any dividends or distributions payable under Section 3.4(d)(ii), and (C) cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock payable pursuant to Section 3.3. No interest shall be paid or accrue on any cash payable in respect of any Book-Entry Shares.

11

(d) Distributions Related to Unexchanged Shares.

(i) No dividends or other distributions on shares of Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any Certificate formerly representing Company Common Stock, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder under Section 3.3, until the surrender of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof under Section 3.4(h)) in accordance with this Article III. Subject to applicable Law, following a holder’s surrender of any such Certificate in accordance with this Article III, there shall be paid to such holder, without interest, (A) by the Exchange Agent, at the time of delivery to such holder of such Parent Common Stock by the Exchange Agent under Section 3.4(c)(i), (1) the aggregate amount of dividends or other distributions payable on such shares of Parent Common Stock in connection with any dividend or other distribution with a record date after the Effective Time that was paid by Parent prior to such delivery of such Parent Common Stock by the Exchange Agent and (2) cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock payable pursuant to Section 3.3; and (B) by Parent, at the appropriate payment date, the aggregate amount of dividends or other distributions payable on the shares of Parent Common Stock delivered to such holder by the Exchange Agent under Section 3.4(c)(i) in connection with any dividend or other distribution with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such delivery of such Parent Common Stock by the Exchange Agent under Section 3.4(c)(i) that has a payment date subsequent to the time of such delivery of such Parent Common Stock by the Exchange Agent under Section 3.4(c)(i).

(ii) Subject to applicable Law, there shall be paid to the holder of each share of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange for Book-Entry Shares under this Article III, without interest, (A) by the Exchange Agent, at the time of delivery to such holder of such Parent Common Stock by the Exchange Agent under Section 3.4(c)(ii), (1) the aggregate amount of dividends or other distributions payable on such shares of Parent Common Stock in connection with any dividend or other distribution with a record date after the Effective Time that was paid by Parent prior to such delivery of such Parent Common Stock by the Exchange Agent and (2) cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock payable pursuant to Section 3.3; and (B) by Parent, at the appropriate payment date, the aggregate amount of dividends or other distributions on the shares of Parent Common Stock delivered to such holder by the Exchange Agent under Section 3.4(c)(ii) in connection with any dividend or other distribution with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to the time of such delivery by the Exchange Agent under Section 3.4(c)(ii) that has a payment date subsequent to the time of such delivery of such Parent Common Stock by the Exchange Agent under Section 3.4(c)(ii).

(e) The Merger Consideration issued and paid pursuant to this Article III shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to Converted Shares of Company Common Stock (except for the right to receive dividends or other distributions, if any, pursuant to Section 3.4(d), subject to the right to receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.3). After the Effective Time, there shall be no registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates formerly representing shares of Company Common Stock are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article III, subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

12

(f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the former holders of Company Common Stock nine (9) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any former holder of Company Common Stock who has not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of its claim for the Merger Consideration and any dividends or distributions on shares of Parent Common Stock as contemplated by Section 3.4(d).

(g) None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person for any shares of Parent Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash (if any) from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official under any applicable abandoned property, escheat, or similar Law. Any Merger Consideration remaining unclaimed by former holders of Company Common Stock immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(h) In the event any Certificate has been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent, of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen, or destroyed and, if required by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in reasonable amount as Parent or the Exchange Agent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation related to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration and any unpaid dividends or other distributions that would be payable or deliverable in respect thereof under Section 3.4(d) had such lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificate been surrendered as provided in this Article III.

(i) The Exchange Agent shall invest the amount of cash (if any) included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent; provided, however, that no such investment income or gain or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to holders of Company Common Stock pursuant to this Article III. Any interest, gains, and other income resulting from such investments (net of any losses) shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent payable to Parent upon its request, and no part of such interest, gains, and other income shall accrue to the benefit of holders of Company Common Stock; provided, however, that any investment of such cash shall in all events be limited to direct short-term obligations of, or short-term obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the U.S. government, in commercial paper rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements, or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $10 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available). If for any reason (including losses) the cash in the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to fully satisfy all of the payment obligations to be made in cash (if any) by the Exchange Agent hereunder, Parent shall promptly deposit cash into the Exchange Fund an amount equal to the deficiency in the amount of cash required to fully satisfy such cash payment obligations.

13

(j) Each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person under this Agreement such amounts as required to be deducted and withheld related to the making of such payment under applicable Law related to Taxes, including, in respect of Company RSUs and Company PSUs, through net share settlement. Any amount deducted or withheld pursuant to this Section 3.4(j) shall be treated as having been paid to the Person for which such deduction or withholding was made. Parent shall pay, or shall cause to be paid, all amounts so deducted or withheld to the appropriate taxing authority within the period required by applicable Law.

Section 3.5 Further Assurances. If, at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation determines that any actions are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect, or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation its right, title, or interest in, to or under any right, property, or asset of the Company or (if applicable) Merger Sub acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger or otherwise to carry out this Agreement, then the agents of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to take all such actions as such agents (or any one of them) deem necessary or desirable to vest all right, title, or interest in, to and under such rights, properties, or assets in the Surviving Corporation or otherwise to carry out the purposes hereof.

(a) Company Stock Options.

(i) Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.6(a)(ii), as of the Effective Time, each Company Stock Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, without any further action on the part of the holder thereof, be assumed by Parent and become, as of the Effective Time, an option (each, an “Assumed Stock Option”) to purchase, on the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting, exercise and expiration provisions) as applicable to each such Company Stock Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, shares of Parent Common Stock, except that (A) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such Assumed Stock Option shall equal the product of (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share, and (B) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Stock Option shall equal the quotient determined by dividing (x) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such Company Stock Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent; provided, however, that the exercise price and the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Stock Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

14

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.6(a)(i), as of the Effective Time, each Company Stock Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by any individual who is not, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, an employee or other service provider of any of the Company Entities (each, a “Non-Employee Stock Option”) shall, without any further action on the part of the holder thereof, be canceled in exchange for the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Non-Employee Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the excess, if any, of (y) the Per Share Merger Consideration Value over (z) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such Non-Employee Stock Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Non-Employee Stock Option with an exercise price per share of Company Common Stock that is equal to or greater than the Per Share Merger Consideration Value shall be automatically canceled at the Effective Time, and no consideration shall be paid with respect thereto.

(b) Company RSUs. Except as may otherwise be agreed upon between Parent and a holder of Company RSUs, each Company RSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, shall vest as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, and no later than three (3) Business Days following the Effective Time, such vested Company RSUs shall settle in a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock otherwise issuable upon settlement of such Company RSUs multiplied by the Exchange Ratio and subject to any applicable Tax withholding; provided that any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock resulting from such multiplication shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share.

(c) Company PSUs. Except as may otherwise be agreed upon between Parent and a holder of Company PSUs, each Company PSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested, and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, shall vest as of immediately prior to the Effective Time at the target level of performance applicable to each such Company PSU, and no later than three (3) Business Days following the Effective Time, such vested Company PSUs shall settle in a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock otherwise issuable upon settlement of such Company PSUs multiplied by the Exchange Ratio and subject to any applicable Tax withholding; provided that any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock resulting from such multiplication shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share.

(d) Company Actions. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board or a committee thereof with necessary authority shall take actions (including adopting resolutions) as may be necessary or desirable to approve, provide for or give effect to the transactions and adjustments contemplated by this Section 3.6 and to authorize and direct the Company’s officers and employees to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to give effect thereto, including seeking the consent of any other Person. Prior to any adoption of any such resolutions, the Company shall provide Parent with drafts of, and a reasonable opportunity to comment upon, all such resolutions.

15

(e) Parent Actions. At the Effective Time, Parent shall assume the Company Stock Plans and shall be entitled to grant awards following the Effective Time, to the extent permissible under applicable Laws, using the shares authorized and available (or that may again become available) for issuance under the Company Stock Plans as of the Effective Time, subject to any limitations under applicable Law or any applicable securities exchange listing requirements, except that: (i) shares covered by such awards shall be shares of Parent Common Stock; (ii) all references in the Company Stock Plans to a number of shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed amended to refer instead to a number of shares of Parent Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of referenced shares of Company Common Stock by the Exchange Ratio, and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock; (iii) the compensation committee of Parent’s board of directors shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Company’s board of directors or any committee thereof with respect to the administration of the Company Stock Plans; and (iv) the Company Stock Plans shall be subject to administrative procedures consistent with those in effect under Parent’s equity compensation plan(s). In addition, at the Effective Time, Parent shall assume all obligations of the Company under such Company Stock Plans with respect to each Assumed Stock Option, subject to the adjustments required pursuant to this Section 3.6, and the award agreements evidencing the grants of such Company Stock Options to be converted into Assumed Stock Options pursuant to this Section 3.6. Parent shall administer and honor all such Assumed Stock Options in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Company Stock Plan and the applicable award agreements pursuant to which the Company Stock Options to be converted into Assumed Stock Options pursuant to this Section 3.6 were granted (subject to the adjustments required pursuant to this Section 3.6). As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days following the Closing Date), Parent shall file a registration statement on an appropriate form, or a post-effective amendment to a registration statement previously filed under the Securities Act, with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such Assumed Stock Options, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such Assumed Stock Options remain outstanding or in effect and such registration of interests therein or shares of Parent Common Stock issuable thereunder continues to be required.

(f) Section 409A. To the extent that any Company RSU or Company PSU constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, distribute any shares of Parent Common Stock issued in settlement of such Company RSU or Company PSU, as applicable, at the earliest time permitted under the terms of the applicable agreement, plan, or arrangement relating to such Company RSU or Company PSU, as applicable, that will not trigger a Tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.4(a) to the contrary, if, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company receives a written Company Acquisition Proposal made after the date hereof that does not result from a breach of the obligations set forth in Section 6.4(a), and if the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and a nationally recognized financial advisor) that such Company Acquisition Proposal is, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Company Acquisition Proposal, (i) the Company may enter into an Acceptable Company Confidentiality Agreement with the Person making such Company Acquisition Proposal; (ii) the Company and its Representatives may provide information (including nonpublic information) in response to a request for such information by such Person, subject to such Acceptable Company Confidentiality Agreement; provided that any information provided to such Person that is not publicly available on EDGAR, including if such information is posted to an electronic data room, shall be provided to Parent prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided to such Person; and (iii) the Company and its Representatives may engage in discussions or negotiations with respect to such Company Acquisition Proposal with such Person and its Representatives.

60

(c) The Company shall promptly (and in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours after receipt) advise Parent in writing if, after the date hereof, the Company or any of its controlled Affiliates or Representatives receives any (i) inquiry or request for information, discussion, or negotiation that is reasonably expected to lead to or that relates to or contemplates a Company Acquisition Proposal, or (ii) Company Acquisition Proposal or any proposal or offer that is reasonably likely to lead to a Company Acquisition Proposal, in each case, which writing shall set forth the material terms and conditions of such indication, inquiry, request, Company Acquisition Proposal, proposal, or offer, the identity of the Person (or Persons) making any such indication, inquiry, request, Company Acquisition Proposal, proposal, or offer, and a copy of any written indication, inquiry, request, Company Acquisition Proposal, proposal, or offer or any draft agreement provided by such Person.

(d) Except to the extent permitted under Section 6.4(e), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) (1) change, withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend, or modify (or publicly propose to change, withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend, or modify), in any manner adverse to Parent, the Company Recommendation, (2) fail to include the Company Recommendation in the Joint Proxy Statement (in either preliminary or definitive form), or (3) authorize, adopt, approve, declare advisable, or recommend, or publicly propose to authorize, adopt, approve, declare advisable, or recommend, a Company Acquisition Proposal or any Contract related thereto (other than an Acceptable Company Confidentiality Agreement entered into in accordance with Section 6.4(b)); (ii) fail to expressly reaffirm publicly the Company Recommendation within ten (10) Business Days after Parent’s written request to do so if a Company Acquisition Proposal is publicly announced (provided that Parent may make such written request, and the Company shall be required to reaffirm the Company Recommendation pursuant thereto, on only one occasion for each Company Acquisition Proposal); (iii) fail to expressly reaffirm publicly the Company Recommendation within ten (10) Business Days after any tender offer or exchange offer pursuant to Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act for Company Common Stock has been commenced; or (iv) fail to recommend against acceptance of any tender offer or exchange offer pursuant to Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act for Company Common Stock within the ten (10) Business Days specified in Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act after the commencement of such offer (each of the foregoing clauses (i)–(iv), a “Company Change of Recommendation”).

(3) the Company Board delivers to Parent written notice that the Company Board intends to make a Company Change of Recommendation (a “Company Recommendation Change Notice”) in response to such Company Acquisition Proposal, which Company Recommendation Change Notice shall (i) be delivered to Parent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which any Company Change of Recommendation may occur, (ii) identify the Person making such Company Acquisition Proposal, attach a copy of such Company Acquisition Proposal and a copy of the proposed written definitive agreement relating to such Company Acquisition Proposal (and any other proposed transaction documents), and (iii) set forth in reasonable detail all material terms and conditions of such Company Acquisition Proposal that are not set forth in such copies;

(4) if requested by Parent, during the period of five (5) Business Days after delivery to Parent of the Company Recommendation Change Notice and other documents described in clause (3), the Company and its Representatives shall negotiate in good faith with Parent and its Representatives with respect to any proposed modifications of the terms of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; and

(5) at the end of such period of five (5) Business Days and taking into account any modifications to the terms of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby proposed by Parent in writing (provided that, if there is any subsequent amendment to any material term of such Company Acquisition Proposal, the Company Board shall promptly deliver to Parent a new Company Recommendation Change Notice (including all required information and documents specified in clause (3) above) with respect to such amended Company Acquisition Proposal and an additional good faith negotiation period of three (3) Business Days (rather than five (5) Business Days otherwise contemplated in clauses (3) and (4) above) from the date of such notice shall be required), the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and a nationally recognized financial advisor) that such Company Acquisition Proposal continues to be a Superior Company Acquisition Proposal (after taking into account any modifications to the terms of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby proposed by Parent) and that the failure to make such a Company Change of Recommendation in response to such Company Acquisition Proposal would be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law; or

(ii) in connection with a Company Intervening Event, but only if:

62

(1) the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and a nationally recognized financial advisor) that a Company Intervening Event has occurred and the failure to effect a Company Change of Recommendation in response to such Company Intervening Event would be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law;

(3) if requested by Parent, during the period of five (5) Business Days after delivery to Parent of the Company Recommendation Change Notice, the Company and its Representatives shall negotiate in good faith with Parent and its Representatives with respect to any proposed modifications of the terms of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; and

(4) at the end of such period of five (5) Business Days and taking into account any modifications to the terms of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby proposed by Parent in writing, the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and a nationally recognized financial advisor) that the failure to make such a Company Change of Recommendation in response to such Company Intervening Event would be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(f) Nothing under this Section 6.4 shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board from complying with Rule 14d-9, Rule 14e-2, or Item 1012 of Regulation M-A under the Exchange Act, or from making any legally required disclosures to stockholders (including any “stop, look, and listen” communication under Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act) with regard to a Company Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that (i) any such disclosure shall be deemed to be a Company Change of Recommendation unless such disclosure expressly states that the Company Board reaffirms the Company Recommendation and (ii) the foregoing shall not permit the Company or the Company Board or any committee thereof to effect a Company Change of Recommendation that is not otherwise permitted by Section 6.4(e).

(a) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 6.8, each of Parent and the Company shall cooperate with each other and use its (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to use their) reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper, or advisable on its part under this Agreement and applicable Law to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable, and in no event later than the Outside Date, including preparing and filing as promptly as reasonably practicable all documentation to effect all necessary notices, reports, and other filings and to obtain as promptly as practicable all consents, registrations, approvals, permits, and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any third party set forth in Section 4.4 of the Company Disclosure Schedule (including, without limitation, with respect to obtaining releases of Liens under the Existing Company Credit Facility and Existing Company Indenture) or Section 5.4 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule and any Governmental Authority, including under the Antitrust Laws, in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Parent and the Company shall share equally all filing fees under the Antitrust Laws in connection with the performance of the Parties’ obligations under this Section 6.8.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of Parent and the Company (and their respective Affiliates, if applicable) shall: (i) promptly, but in no event later than September 10, 2020, file any and all notices, reports, and other documents required to be filed by such Party under the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and shall use reasonable best efforts promptly to cause the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act; (ii) promptly make all filings, and use reasonable best efforts to timely obtain all consents, permits, authorizations, waivers, clearances, and approvals, and to cause the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods, as may be required under any other applicable Antitrust Laws (to the extent required); (iii) as promptly as reasonably practicable provide such information as may reasonably be requested by the DOJ or the FTC, as applicable, under the HSR Act or by any other Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as well as any information required to be submitted to comply with, a request for additional information in order to commence or end a statutory waiting period; (iv) use reasonable best efforts to cause to be taken, on a timely basis, all other actions necessary or appropriate for the purpose of consummating and effectuating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (v) promptly take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all reasonable actions and steps requested or required by any Governmental Authority as a condition to granting any consent, permit, authorization, waiver, clearance, and approvals, and to cause the prompt expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period and to resolve such objections, if any, as the FTC and the DOJ, or other Governmental Authorities of any other jurisdiction for which consents, permits, authorizations, waivers, clearances, approvals, and expirations or terminations of waiting periods are required with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 6.8, each Party hereto shall (i) give the other Parties prompt notice of the making or commencement of any request, litigation, hearing, examination, or Action with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) keep the other Parties reasonably informed as to the status of any such request, litigation, hearing, examination, or Action, (iii) promptly inform the other Parties of any substantive communication to or from the FTC, DOJ, or any other Governmental

Subject to applicable Law, to the extent practicable, each of Parent or the Company, as the case may be, will consult with the other prior to submitting any substantive written materials to any Governmental Authority regarding the information to be submitted relating to Parent or the Company, as the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries that appear in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party or any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Party shall consider in good faith and incorporate where appropriate all comments reasonably proposed by the other Parties, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if any such information would be considered competitively sensitive by the disclosing party, such information shall be provided solely to those individuals acting as outside antitrust counsel for the other Parties, provided that such counsel shall not disclose such information to such other Parties and shall enter into or act pursuant to a pre-existing joint defense agreement with the providing party. In addition, except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Authority or by any applicable Law, in connection with any such request, or any, hearing, examination, or Action with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Party will permit authorized Representatives of the other Party to be present at each in-person or telephonic meeting, conference, or other substantive communication relating to such request, hearing, examination, or Action and shall consult with the other party in connection with any document, opinion, or proposal made or submitted to any Governmental Authority in connection with such request, hearing, examination, or Action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Parent and the Company shall cooperate in good faith to jointly devise and implement the strategy for obtaining any necessary antitrust or competition clearances, including in connection with the determination of any Regulatory Action, and each of Parent and the Company shall afford the other Party the opportunity to participate equally in all meetings and communications with any Governmental Authority in connection with obtaining any necessary antitrust or competition clearances; provided that Parent or the Company, as applicable, shall not be permitted to participate in any such meetings and communications if it is prohibited from doing so by a Governmental Authority, or to the extent necessary to prevent disclosure of the other Party’s competitively sensitive information.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.8, in no event shall either of the Company or Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates, be required to take, or agree to take, any of the following actions: (i) divest, license, hold separate, or otherwise dispose of, or allow a third party to utilize, any portion of its or their respective businesses, assets or Contracts or (ii) any other action that may be required or requested by any Governmental Authority in connection with obtaining the consents, authorizations, orders, or approvals contemplated by this Section 6.8 (each, a “Regulatory Action”), if any such Regulatory Action (individually or in the aggregate) would reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect that is material to Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries), taken as a whole (after giving effect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement); provided that in no event shall the Company or Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates, be required to take, or agree to take, any Regulatory Action unless such Regulatory Action is conditioned upon the consummation of the Closing.

73

(e) Subject to its obligations in this Section 6.8, Parent and the Company shall cooperate in good faith and use their respective reasonable best efforts to jointly propose, negotiate, offer to commit, and effect, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, any and all such actions or otherwise to offer to take or offer to commit (and if such offer is accepted, commit to and take) any such action as may be required to resolve any Governmental Authority’s objections to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(f) Subject to Section 6.8(d), in the event that any Action is commenced challenging the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such Action seeks, or would reasonably be expected to seek, to prevent, prohibit, or restrict consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of Parent and the Company shall cooperate with the other Party and use its reasonable best efforts to contest any such Action and to have vacated, lifted, reversed, or overturned any Order, whether temporary, preliminary, or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(g) Neither Parent nor the Company shall, nor shall it permit its Subsidiaries to, acquire or agree to acquire any rights, assets, business, Person, or division thereof (through acquisition, license, joint venture, partnership, collaboration, or otherwise), if such acquisition, would reasonably be expected to materially increase the risk of not obtaining any applicable clearance, Consent, or waiver under Antitrust Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.9 Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company Entities imposed under (i) each indemnification agreement in effect on the date hereof between any Company Entity and any Indemnified Person (the “Company Indemnification Agreements”) and (ii) any indemnification provision and any exculpation provision in the Constituent Documents of the Company Entities as in effect on the date hereof. The Constituent Documents of the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Corporation’s Subsidiaries shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, contain provisions related to indemnification and exculpation from liability no less favorable to the Indemnified Persons than the indemnification and exculpation from liability provisions in the Constituent Documents of the Company or its relevant Subsidiaries on the date hereof, and, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date, such provisions shall not be amended, repealed, or otherwise modified in any manner that adversely affects the rights thereunder of any Indemnified Person.

(b) During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation or its applicable Subsidiaries to indemnify and hold harmless, and advance expenses to, the Indemnified Persons against any Loss incurred in connection with any actual or threatened Action arising out of or relating to the Merger, this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law; provided that any such advancement of expenses shall be conditioned upon the Indemnified Person’s (i) executing an undertaking to repay the amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to indemnification and (ii) cooperating with Parent, the Surviving Corporation, and their respective Subsidiaries in the defense of any such matter.

74

(c) Through the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation or its applicable Subsidiaries, at no expense to the Indemnified Persons who are beneficiaries thereof, to maintain in effect, for the benefit of the Indemnified Persons, the current level and scope of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage in the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy in effect as of the date hereof; provided, however, that in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to expend in any one (1) year an amount in excess of 350% of the annual premium currently payable by the Company related to such current policy (the “Annual Cap”); provided, further, that, if the annual premiums payable for such insurance coverage exceed the Annual Cap, the Surviving Corporation shall obtain from insurance carriers with comparable credit ratings a policy with the greatest coverage available for an annual cost equal to the Annual Cap. In lieu of the obligations in, and notwithstanding anything in, the immediately preceding sentence, the Company, in consultation with Parent, may obtain a prepaid “tail” policy prior to the Effective Time that provides the Indemnified Persons with such directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for a period ending no earlier than the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation or its applicable Subsidiaries, at no expense to the Indemnified Persons who are beneficiaries thereof, to maintain such policy in effect, for the benefit of the Indemnified Persons; provided that the premium payable for such “tail” policy shall not exceed the Annual Cap.

(d) If Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or Surviving Corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations of the Surviving Corporation (or Parent) under this Section 6.9.

(e) From and after the Closing, the Indemnified Persons shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.9, with full rights of enforcement as if a party hereto. The rights of the Indemnified Persons under this Section 6.9 shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that any such Indemnified Person may have under the applicable Constituent Documents or any Company Indemnification Agreement.

(f) Nothing herein is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive, or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence related to the Company Entities for any of their respective directors, officers, or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.9 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

(g) For purposes hereof, “Indemnified Person” means any Person who is or was, at any time prior to the Effective Time, an officer or director of any Company Entity, or, while an officer or director of any Company Entity, is or was serving at the request of such Company Entity as a director, officer, partner, member, trustee, administrator, employee, or agent of another Person, including an employee benefit plan.

Any Company Note Offers and Consent Solicitations shall be made on customary terms and conditions (including price to be paid and conditionality) as are reasonably proposed by any Parent Entity, are reasonably acceptable to the Company and are permitted or required by the terms of such Notes, the applicable indentures and applicable Laws, including the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

(b) Subject to receipt of the requisite consents, in connection with any or all of the Consent Solicitations, the Company shall execute supplemental indentures to the Existing Company Indenture in accordance with the terms thereof amending the terms and provisions of the Existing Company Indenture in a form as reasonably requested by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company, which supplemental indentures shall not become effective until Closing. At the Parent Entities’ expense, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective controlled Affiliates and Representatives to, on a timely basis, upon the reasonable request of any Parent Entity, provide reasonable assistance and cooperation in connection with any Note Redemption or Company Note Offers and Consent Solicitations (including but not limited to requesting, and using reasonable best efforts to cause, (i) the Company’s independent accountants (and certified independent auditors of any company recently acquired or whose acquisition by the Company is pending of whose financial statements would be required to be included in order for a registration statement filed by the Company to be declared effective) to provide customary consents for use of their reports to the extent required in connection with any Company Note Offers and Consent Solicitations and (ii) the Company’s Representatives to furnish any customary certificates, legal opinions, or negative assurance letters in connection with the Company Note Offers and Consent Solicitations). The dealer manager, solicitation agent, information agent, depositary, or other agent retained in connection with any Company Note Offers and Consent Solicitations will be selected by the Parent Entities and reasonably acceptable to the Company and their fees and out-of-pocket expenses will be paid directly by Parent.

(d) The Company shall cause the agent under the Existing Company Credit Facility to deliver an executed payoff letter (the “Payoff Letter”) with respect to the Existing Company Credit Facility, in customary form reasonably acceptable to the Company and Parent, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date; provided that such Payoff Letter shall be contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing, unless otherwise agreed by the Company.

(e) From the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time the Company shall, and shall cause the Company Entities to, reasonably cooperate with Parent, as reasonably requested by Parent in connection with Parent’s debt financing activities, including by permitting Parent’s financing sources, as Representatives of Parent, to have reasonable access, during normal business hours in accordance with and subject to the other terms hereof, including the limitations set forth in Section 6.7(a), to the Company Entities’ properties, borrowing base, books, records, personnel, and information systems, including cash management and accounting systems and policies and procedures relating thereto (including conducting commercial finance examinations and inventory, equipment and real property appraisals).

In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for any Parent Plans that are welfare benefit plans, programs and arrangements maintained, sponsored or contributed to by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries (“Parent Welfare Company Benefit Plans”), in which a Continuing Employee or Union Employee may be eligible to participate on or after the Effective Time, Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective Subsidiaries shall (1) waive all limitations as to eligibility waiting periods and preexisting and actively at-work conditions, if any, related to participation and coverage requirements applicable to each Continuing Employee or Union Employee (and each covered dependent, spouse or beneficiary) under any Parent Welfare Company Benefit Plan to the same extent waived or otherwise satisfied under a comparable Company Benefit Plan, and (2) provide, credit to each Continuing Employee or Union Employee (and each covered dependent, spouse or beneficiary) for any co-payments, deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses paid by such Continuing Employee or Union Employee (or covered dependent, spouse or beneficiary) under the Company Benefit Plans during the relevant plan year, up to and including the Effective Time.

If the Company Qualified Plan is terminated as described herein, the Continuing Employees and Union Employees shall be eligible to participate in a Parent Qualified Plan as of the Closing Date. All resolutions or notices to participants issued, adopted, or executed in connection with the termination of any Company Qualified Plan described herein shall be subject to Parent’s reasonable prior review and comment.

79

The provisions of this Section 6.13 are solely for the benefit of the respective parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 6.13, express or implied, shall confer upon any Continuing Employee, Union Employee, or legal representative or beneficiary thereof or any other Person, any rights or remedies, including any right to employment or service or continued employment or service for any specified period, or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever under this Agreement or a right of any employee or beneficiary of such Continuing Employee, Union Employee, or other Person under a Company Benefit Plan that such Continuing Employee, Union Employee, or beneficiary or other Person would not otherwise have under the terms of that Company Benefit Plan.

Each of the Company and Parent shall give the other Party the opportunity, at the other Party’s sole expense, to participate in, but not control, the defense and settlement of any such Transaction-Related Litigation; provided, however, that neither the Company nor Parent shall settle, cease to defend, or consent to the entry of any judgment in any Transaction-Related Litigation without the other Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).

(ii) The covenants and agreements under this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby, and without such covenants and agreements, the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement. Each of the Parties acknowledges that payment of a Termination Fee is not a penalty, but rather a reasonable amount that will compensate a Termination Fee Recipient for the efforts and resources expended, and opportunities foregone, while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger. If a Termination Fee Obligor fails to pay promptly any amount due pursuant to Section 8.3(a) or Section 8.3(b), as applicable, and in order to obtain such payment, the Termination Fee Recipient commences an Action that results in a judgment against the Termination Fee Obligor for any amount owed by such Termination Fee Obligor pursuant to Section 8.3(a) or Section 8.3(b), as applicable, the Termination Fee Obligor shall reimburse the Termination Fee Recipient for its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with such Action, together with interest on such amount at the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date such payment was actually received (collectively, “Enforcement Costs”).

(iii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (including Section 8.2), if this Agreement is terminated under circumstances in which a Termination Fee Obligor is required to pay a Termination Fee and such fee is paid, (1) payment by the Termination Fee Obligor of such Termination Fee, together with any costs and expenses owed by the Termination Fee Obligor pursuant to Section 8.3(c)(ii), shall be the Termination Fee Recipient’s sole and exclusive remedy for any Actions, Liabilities, and Losses suffered or incurred by such Termination Fee Recipient or any of its Affiliates or Representatives that may be based on this Agreement, arise out of this Agreement, or relate hereto or the negotiation, execution, performance, or subject matter hereof, or the termination hereof or any matter forming the basis for such termination, (2) upon payment by the Termination Fee Obligor of such

88

Termination Fee, together with any costs and expenses owed by the Termination Fee Obligor pursuant to Section 8.3(c)(ii), the Termination Fee Recipient and its Affiliates and Representatives shall have no further Liability arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or the negotiation, execution, performance, or subject matter hereof, or the termination hereof or any matter forming the basis for such termination, (3) the Termination Fee Recipient shall not have, and expressly waives and relinquishes, any other right, remedy, or recourse (whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, or whether at law (including at common law or by statute) or in equity) that may be based on this Agreement, arise out of this Agreement, or relate hereto or the negotiation, execution, performance, or subject matter hereof, or the termination hereof or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and (4) the maximum aggregate Liability of a Termination Fee Obligor and its Affiliates and Representatives to a Termination Fee Recipient arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or the negotiation, execution, performance, or subject matter hereof, or the termination hereof or any matter forming the basis for such termination, shall not exceed such Termination Fee, together with any costs and expenses owed by the Termination Fee Obligor pursuant to Section 8.3(c)(ii), and the Termination Fee Recipient and its Affiliates and Representatives shall not seek to recover monetary damages in excess of such amount, other than (in each case) any Liability for any fraud in the making of the Termination Fee Obligor’s representations and warranties set forth in Article IV and Article V, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (including Section 8.2), in no event shall a Termination Fee Obligor be required to pay to a Termination Fee to a Termination Fee Recipient more than once. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 8.3 shall be deemed to relieve either Party from any liability or obligation under Section 9.12.

EXECUTION VERSION

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

SECTION 1

EMPLOYMENT TERMS AND WAIVER OF “GOOD REASON” AT EFFECTIVE TIME

1.1 Employment. The Company hereby agrees to employ Executive, and Executive hereby accepts such employment by the Company, effective as of the Effective Time, subject to the consummation of the Merger, for the period and upon the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.

1.2 Position and Duties. From and after the Effective Time, for a period of (90) days following the date of the consummation of the Merger (the “CEO Transition Period”), Executive shall serve as an executive officer of the Company. Effective immediately upon the expiration of the CEO Transition Period, on the ninety-first (91^st) day following the Effective Time (the “CEO Effective Date”), Executive is hereby appointed to serve as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Upon such appointment, Executive shall have all of the powers and duties in such capacity that are customary to the powers and duties of those of a President and Chief Executive Officer serving in a similar role in a company within the industry in which the Company operates. The foregoing powers and duties shall be subject to the direction of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Executive shall report to the Board. Executive shall be appointed to the Board in accordance with the Merger Agreement. Executive shall devote Executive’s full business time and attention and full diligence and vigor and good faith efforts to the affairs of the Company. However, Executive may continue his service on the board of directors of Veritiv Corporation (NYSE: VRTV), to the extent it does not interfere with Executive’s duties to the Company. Executive shall not engage in any other material business duties or pursuits or render any services of a professional nature to any other entity or person, or serve on any other board of directors (other than a not-for-profit board of directors, and then only to the extent it does not interfere with his duties to the Company), without the prior written consent of the Board or a Committee designated by the Board to approve such matters.

1.3 Term. Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall commence immediately upon the consummation of the Merger at the Effective Time and shall continue for an indefinite term, until terminated in accordance with SECTION 3 below. Certain provisions, however, as more fully set forth in SECTION 4, SECTION 5 and SECTION 6 below, continue in effect beyond the date of the termination of Executive’s employment (the “Termination Date”). In the event the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the consummation of the Merger, this Agreement shall be null and void, ab initio, and of no force or effect. Executive agrees that, effective as of the applicable Termination Date, Executive shall resign from all positions held by Executive as an officer, director or otherwise with respect to the Company or any member of the Company Group (as defined below).

1.4 Relocation to Dallas, Texas. Executive shall relocate his permanent residence to Dallas, Texas within 12 months following the Effective Time and shall be entitled to receive relocation benefits in connection with such relocation pursuant to SECTION 2.4 hereof.

Upon termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, the Company’s obligation to pay compensation and benefits under SECTION 2 shall terminate, except that the Company shall pay to Executive or, if applicable, Executive’s heirs, all earned but unpaid Base Salary under SECTION 2.1(a) and accrued but unused vacation under SECTION 2.2, in each case, through the Termination Date and Executive’s unreimbursed expenses incurred through the Termination Date in accordance with SECTION 2.3. In addition, Executive shall be entitled to receive (i) any vested amounts or benefits due under any tax-qualified retirement or group insurance plan or program in accordance with the terms thereof, and (ii) other than on an involuntary termination by the Company for Cause or a voluntary termination by Executive without Good Reason (for the avoidance of doubt, a termination due to Executive’s death or Disability (as defined under the Company’s 2014 Incentive Plan, as in effect on the date hereof) shall not be “without Good Reason”), his Annual Cash Bonus for any completed fiscal year to the extent earned for such fiscal year and if such bonus has not previously been paid for such completed fiscal year, at the same time such Annual Cash Bonus would have been paid if Executive had continued in employment (it being understood that in the event of any such termination Executive is not entitled to an Annual Bonus for the then-current Fiscal Year). If the Company terminates Executive’s employment without Cause, or if Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, then, in addition, to the foregoing compensation, upon execution and delivery (and non-revocation) by Executive of the Separation Agreement and General Release as set forth in SECTION 6.10, the Company shall pay severance benefits pursuant to SECTION 3.4 below. No

EXECUTION VERSION

other payments or compensation of any kind shall be paid in respect of Executive’s employment with or termination from the Company. Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained herein, in the event of any termination of Executive’s employment, the exclusive remedies available to Executive shall be the amounts due under this SECTION 3, which are in the nature of liquidated damages, and are not in the nature of a penalty.

3.4 Severance Benefits.

(a) Termination without Cause or for Good Reason. Subject to the terms and conditions of eligibility for Executive’s receipt of severance benefits under this Agreement, including the timely execution and delivery (and non-revocation) by Executive of the Separation Agreement and General Release as set forth in SECTION 6.10, if the Company terminates Executive’s employment without Cause or Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, the Company shall pay to Executive, as severance benefits, which amounts are in addition to the Compensation upon Termination set forth in SECTION 3.3 herein:

(ii) An amount equal to (x) if the Termination Date occurs within twelve (12) months following the Effective Time, 100% of Executive’s Target Bonus ,which shall be paid to Executive in equal installments according to the Company’s normal payroll practices over the twelve (12) month period following the date Executive incurs a Separation from Service, but in no event less frequently than monthly, or (y) if the Termination Date occurs after the first anniversary of the Effective Time, 150% of Executive’s Target Bonus, which shall be paid to Executive in equal installments according to the Company’s normal payroll practices over the eighteen (18) month period following the date Executive incurs a Separation from Service, but in no event less frequently than monthly.

(iii) Subject to (1) Executive’s timely election of continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), and (2) Executive’s continued copayment of premiums at the same level and cost to Executive as if Executive were an employee of the Company (excluding, for purposes of calculating cost, an employee’s ability to pay premiums with pre-tax dollars), continued participation in the Company’s group health plan (to the extent permitted under applicable law and the terms of such plan) which covers Executive (and Executive’s eligible dependents) for a period of (x) twelve (12) months if the Termination Date occurs within twelve (12) months following the Effective Time or (y) eighteen (18) months if the Termination Date occurs after the first anniversary of the Effective Time, in each case, at the Company’s expense, provided that Executive is eligible and remains eligible for COBRA coverage. The Company may modify its obligation under this SECTION 3.4(a)(iii) to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid any penalty or excise taxes imposed on it in connection with the continued payment of premiums by the Company under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, as amended, or other applicable law.

EXECUTION VERSION

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any severance benefits that would otherwise have been paid before the Company’s first normal payroll payment date falling on or after the sixtieth (60th) day after the date on which Executive incurs a Separation from Service (the “First Payment Date”) shall be made on the First Payment Date. Each separate severance installment payment and each other payment that Executive may be eligible to receive under this Agreement shall be a separate payment under this Agreement for all purposes.

(c) Executive shall have no duty or obligation to mitigate the amounts due under SECTION 3.4(a) above and any amounts earned by Executive from other employment shall not be offset or reduce the amounts due hereunder.

SECTION 4

CERTAIN AGREEMENTS

4.1 Confidentiality. Executive acknowledges that the Company owns and shall own and has developed and shall develop proprietary information concerning its business and the business of its subsidiaries and affiliates and each of their employees, customers and clients (“Proprietary Information”). Such Proprietary Information includes, among other things, trade secrets, financial information, product plans, customer lists, marketing plans, systems, manuals, training materials, forecasts, inventions, improvements, know-how and other intellectual property, in each case, relating to the Company’s business. Executive shall, at all times, both during employment by the Company and thereafter, keep all Proprietary Information in confidence and trust and shall not use or disclose any Proprietary Information without the written consent of the Company, except as necessary in the ordinary course of Executive’s duties. Executive shall keep the terms of this Agreement in confidence and trust and shall not disclose such terms, except to Executive’s family, accountants, financial advisors, or attorneys, or as otherwise authorized or required by law. The parties acknowledge that pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (the “DTSA”), an individual may not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or state trade secret law for disclosure of a trade secret that (i) is made (A) in confidence to a Federal, state or local governmental authority, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of applicable law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Nothing in this Agreement or any other agreement Executive has with the Company or any of its affiliates is intended to conflict with the DTSA or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by such section. Under the DTSA, any employee, contractor, or consultant who is found to have wrongfully misappropriated trade secrets (as the terms “misappropriate” and “trade secret” are defined in the DTSA) may be liable for, among other things, exemplary damages and attorneys’ fees. Further, nothing in this Agreement or any other agreement Executive has with the Company or any of its affiliates will prohibit or restrict Executive from making any voluntary disclosure of information or documents related to any violation of law to any governmental agency or legislative body, or any self-regulatory organization, in each case, without advance notice to the Company.

EXECUTION VERSION

4.2 Company Property. Executive recognizes that all Proprietary Information, however stored or memorialized, and all identification cards, keys, flash drives, computers, mobile phones, Personal Data Assistants, telephone numbers, access codes, marketing materials, documents, records and other equipment or property which the Company provides are the sole property of the Company. Upon termination of employment, Executive shall (1) refrain from taking any such property from the Company’s premises, and (2) return any such property in Executive’s possession within ten (10) business days.

4.3 Assignment of Inventions to the Company. Executive shall promptly disclose to the Company all improvements, inventions, formulas, processes, computer programs, know how and trade secrets developed, whether or not patentable, made or conceived or reduced to practice or developed by Executive, either alone or jointly with others, during and related to Executive’s employment and the Company’s business or while using the Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret information (collectively, “Inventions”). All Inventions and other intellectual property rights shall be the sole property of the Company and shall be “works made for hire.” Executive hereby assigns to the Company any rights Executive may have or acquire in all Inventions and agrees to perform, during and after employment with the Company, at the Company’s expense including reasonable compensation to Executive, all acts reasonably necessary by the Company in obtaining and enforcing intellectual property rights with respect to such Inventions. Executive hereby irrevocably appoints the Company and its officers and agents as Executive’s attorney-in-fact to act for and in Executive’s name and stead with respect to such Inventions.

SECTION 5

COVENANT NOT TO ENGAGE IN CERTAIN ACTS

5.1 General. Executive understands and agrees that Executive shall hold a position of significant trust and, in such position of significant trust, shall provide services and have responsibility with respect to the Company and all of its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the “Company Group”), including, without limitation, contributing to the acquisition and retention of customers and the generation of goodwill. Executive further understands and agrees that Executive will develop, access and use Proprietary Information for the benefit of the Company Group. The parties understand and agree that the purpose of the restrictions contained in SECTION 4 and this SECTION 5 is to protect the goodwill and other legitimate business interests of the Company (including its Proprietary Information), and that the Company would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence of such restrictions. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions are reasonable and do not, and will not, unduly impair his ability to make a living after the termination of his employment with the Company. The provisions of SECTION 4 and SECTION 5 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement.

EXECUTION VERSION

5.2 Non-Compete; Non-Interference; Non-Solicit. During the term of employment and for a period of (i) twelve (12) months after the Termination Date if the Termination Date occurs within twelve (12) months following the Effective Time or (ii) eighteen (18) months after the Termination Date if the Termination Date occurs after the first anniversary of the Effective Time, Executive shall not, whether for Executive’s own account or for any other Person, directly or indirectly, with or without compensation:

(a) own, manage, operate, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be employed or engaged in a senior management role by, any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, proprietorship or other business entity or organization that engages in or plans to engage in the business of (i) supplying, distributing, manufacturing, designing, constructing and/or installing structural and related building products, including, without limitation, prefabricated components, roof and floor trusses, wall panels, stairs, windows, doors, millwork, lumber products, roofing, insulation, hardware and other building products and/or (ii) providing services to customers in connection with any of the foregoing or otherwise related to residential homebuilding, in each case, (i) and (ii) anywhere in the United States (a “Competing Business”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this SECTION 5.2 will prohibit Executive from acquiring or holding not more than two percent (2%) of any class of publicly traded securities.

5.3 Cessation/Reimbursement of Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive violates any provision of SECTION 4 or SECTION 5, the Company may, upon giving written notice to Executive, immediately terminate Executive’s employment with the Company for Cause or, in the event the violation occurs following the Termination Date, cease all payments and benefits that it may be providing to Executive

11

EXECUTION VERSION

pursuant to SECTION 3, and Executive shall be required to reimburse the Company for any payments received from the Company pursuant to SECTION 3; provided, however, that the foregoing shall be in addition to such other remedies as may be available to the Company and shall not be deemed to permit Executive to forego or waive such payments in order to avoid his obligations under SECTION 4 or SECTION 5; and provided, further, that any release of claims by Executive pursuant to SECTION 6.10 shall continue in effect.

5.4 Survival; Injunctive Relief. Executive agrees that the provisions of SECTION 4 and SECTION 5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination of Executive’s employment. Executive acknowledges that a breach by him of the covenants contained in SECTION 4 or SECTION 5 cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in an action at law and that such breach will cause the Company immeasurable and irreparable injury and damage. Executive further acknowledges that he possesses unique skills, knowledge and ability and that competition in violation of SECTION 4 or SECTION 5 would be extremely detrimental to the Company. By reason thereof, each of the Company and Executive agrees that the other shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies it may have under this Agreement, at law or in equity, or otherwise, to temporary, preliminary and/or permanent injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent or curtail any actual or threatened violation of SECTION 4 or SECTION 5, without proof of actual damages that have been or may be caused to the Company by such breach or threatened breach, and waives to the fullest extent permitted by law the posting or securing of any bond by the other party in connection with such remedies.

EXECUTION VERSION

6.10 Release of Claims. In consideration for the compensation and other benefits provided pursuant to this Agreement, Executive agrees to execute a “Separation Agreement and General Release” to be presented by the Company substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. The Company’s obligation to pay severance benefits pursuant to SECTION 3.4 is expressly conditioned on Executive’s execution and delivery of such Separation Agreement and General Release no later than forty-five (45) days after the date Executive incurs a Separation from Service without revoking it for a period of seven (7) days following delivery. Executive’s failure to execute and deliver such Separation Agreement and General Release within such forty-five (45) day time period (or Executive’s subsequent revocation of such Separation Agreement and General Release) will void the Company’s obligation to pay severance benefits under this Agreement

6.11 Withholding. All compensation payable to Executive pursuant to this Agreement will be subject to any applicable statutory withholding taxes and such other taxes as are required or permitted under applicable law and such other deductions or withholdings as authorized by Executive to be collected with respect to compensation paid to Executive.

6.12 In-kind Benefits and Reimbursements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in-kind benefits and reimbursements provided under this Agreement during any tax year of Executive shall not affect in-kind benefits or reimbursements to be provided in any other tax year of Executive, except for the reimbursement of medical expenses referred to in Section 105(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (“Code”), and are not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, reimbursement requests must be timely submitted by Executive and, if timely submitted, reimbursement payments shall be made to Executive as soon as administratively practicable following such submission, but in no event later than December 31st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred. In no event shall Executive be entitled to any reimbursement payments after December 31st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred. This SECTION 6.12 shall apply only to in-kind benefits and reimbursements that would result in taxable compensation income to Executive.

6.13 Section 409A The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement be exempt from, or comply with, Section 409A of the Code (and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) (“Section 409A”), and accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered to be in accordance therewith. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Executive shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Company for purposes of any payments under this Agreement which are subject to Section 409A until Executive would be considered to have incurred a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A. Each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided under this Agreement shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A, and any payments described in this Agreement that are due within the “short term deferral period” as defined in Section 409A, or otherwise satisfying an exception under Section 409A, shall not be treated as deferred

14

EXECUTION VERSION

compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Agreement during the six (6)-month period immediately following Executive’s separation from service shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following Executive’s separation from service (or, if earlier, death). To the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A, amounts reimbursable to Executive under this Agreement shall be paid to Executive on or before the last day of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred and the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement (and in-kind benefits provided) during any one year may not effect amounts reimbursable or provided in any subsequent year. In no event shall the timing of Executive’s execution of a Separation Agreement and General Release pursuant to SECTION 6.10 result, directly or indirectly, in Executive designating the calendar year of any payment hereunder, and, to the extent required by Section 409A, if a payment hereunder that is subject to execution of a Separation Agreement and General Release could be made in more than one taxable year, payment shall be made in the later taxable year. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other agreement by and between Executive and any member of the Company Group, to the extent that (i) this Agreement provides for the vesting and settlement of any equity award held by Executive and (ii) such equity award constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, such equity award shall be settled at the earliest time that will not trigger a Tax or penalty under Section 409A. The Company makes no representation that any or all of the payments described in this Agreement shall be exempt from or comply with Section 409A and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A from applying to any such payment.

6.14 Indemnification, etc. The Company shall provide an indemnification agreement, no less favorable to Executive than such agreement as applies with Boston prior to the Effective Time, by which it shall indemnify and hold harmless Executive to the fullest extent permitted by law for any action or inaction he takes in good faith with regard to the Company or parent or any benefit plan of either, in accordance with the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws. Further, the Company shall cover Executive on its directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies to no less extent than that which covers any other officer or director of the Company.

6.15 Arbitration. Except with respect to the Company’s enforcement of the covenants in SECTION 4 and SECTION 5, in the event that either Executive or the Company (or their successor and assigns, or any other person claiming benefits on behalf of or through them) has a dispute, claim, question, or disagreement arising from or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof, the parties hereto shall use their best efforts to settle the dispute, claim, question, or disagreement. To this effect, they shall consult and negotiate with each other in good faith and, recognizing their mutual interests, attempt to reach a just and equitable solution satisfactory to both parties. If the parties do not reach such solution within a period of 60 days, then, upon written notice by either party to the other, all such disputes, claims, questions, or differences shall be finally settled by confidential binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the provisions of its Employment Arbitration Rules, unless such claim is precluded by law from being settled through arbitration. Such arbitration

15

EXECUTION VERSION

shall take place in Dallas, Texas. Any arbitrator selected by the parties to arbitrate any such dispute shall have practiced predominately in the field of employment law for no less than ten years. The arbitrator will have the power to interpret this Agreement. Any determination or decision by the arbitrator shall be binding upon the parties and may be enforced in any court of law. The parties agree that this arbitration provision does not apply to the right of Executive to file a charge, testify, assist or participate in any manner in an investigation, hearing or proceeding before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any other agency pertaining to any matters covered by this Agreement and within the jurisdiction of the agency. Both parties agree that this arbitration clause has been bargained for by the parties upon advice of their respective counsel.

6.16 Code Section 280G. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if it is determined that the benefits or payments payable under this Agreement, taking into account other benefits or payments provided under other plans, agreements or arrangements, constitute Parachute Payments that would subject Executive to tax under Section 4999 of the Code, it must be determined whether Executive will receive the total payments due or the Reduced Amount. Executive will receive the Reduced Amount if the Reduced Amount results in equal or greater Net After Tax Receipts than the Net After Tax Receipts that would result from Executive receiving the total payments due.

If it is determined that the total payments should be reduced to the Reduced Amount, the Company must promptly notify Executive of that determination, including a copy of the detailed calculations by an accounting firm or other professional organization qualified to make the calculation that was selected by the Company and acceptable to Executive (the “Accounting Firm”). The Company shall pay the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm. All determinations made by the Accounting Firm under this SECTION 6.16 are binding upon the Company and Executive, subject to any differing determination by the Internal Revenue Service.

It is the intention of the Company and Executive to reduce the payments under this Agreement and any other plan, agreement or arrangement only if the aggregate Net After Tax Receipts to Executive would thereby be increased.

If it is determined that the total payments should be reduced to the Reduced Amount, any reduction shall be in the order that would provide Executive with the largest amount of Net After Tax Receipts (subject to the remainder of this sentence, pro rata if two alternatives provide the same result) and shall, to the extent permitted by Code Section 280G and 409A be designated by Executive. Executive shall at any time have the unilateral right to forfeit any equity grant in whole or in part.

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Net After Tax Receipt” means the Present Value of the total payments or the Reduced Amount, as applicable, net of all federal, state and local income and payroll taxes imposed on Executive, including Section 4999 of the Code, determined by applying the highest marginal rate of income taxes which applied to Executive’s taxable income for the immediately preceding taxable year. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Parachute Payment” means a payment (under this Agreement or any other plan, agreement or arrangement) that is described in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, determined in accordance with Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder. For purposes of this Agreement, the

16

EXECUTION VERSION

term “Present Value” means the value determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code and the regulations thereunder. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Reduced Amount” means the largest amount of Parachute Payments that is less than the total Parachute Payments and that may be paid to Executive without subjecting Executive to tax under Section 4999 of the Code.

(ii) Executive shall have a period of forty-five (45) days from the Termination Date (or from the date of receipt of this Agreement if received after the Termination Date) in which to consider the terms of the Agreement (the “Review Period”). Executive may at his option execute this Agreement at any time during the Review Period. If Executive does not return the signed Agreement to the Company prior to the expiration of the 45 day period, then the offer of severance benefits set forth in this Agreement shall lapse and shall be withdrawn by the Company; and

(iii) Executive may revoke this Agreement at any time during the first seven (7) days following Executive’s execution of this Agreement, and this Agreement and release shall not be effective or enforceable until the seven-day period has expired (“Revocation Period Expiration Date”). Notice of a revocation by Executive must be made to the designated representative of the Company (as described below) within the seven (7) day period after Executive signs this Agreement.

Executive agrees that by signing this Agreement prior to the expiration of the forty-five (45) day period he has voluntarily waived his right to consider this Agreement for the full forty-five (45) day period.

6. No Claims. Each party represents that it has not filed any Claim against the other Party with any state, federal or local agency or court; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit Executive from filing a Claim, including a challenge to the validity of this Agreement, with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) or participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by the EEOC.

7. Interpretation. This Agreement shall take effect as an instrument under seal and shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas without regard to provisions or principles thereof relating to conflict of laws.

8. Agreement as Defense. This Agreement may be pleaded as a full and complete defense to any subsequent action or other proceeding arising out of, relating to, or having anything to do with any and all Claims, counterclaims, defenses or other matters capable of being alleged, which are specifically released and discharged by this Agreement. This Agreement may also be used to abate any such action or proceeding and/or as a basis of a cross complaint for damages.

Executive agrees not to disclose the terms of this Agreement to anyone except immediate family members and Executive’s attorneys and financial advisers. Executive further agrees to inform these people that the Agreement is confidential and must not be disclosed to an one else. Executive may disclose the terms of this Agreement if compelled to do so by a court, but Executive agrees to notify the Company immediately if anyone seeks to compel Executive’s testimony in this regard, and to cooperate with the Company if the Company decides to oppose such effort. Executive agrees that disclosure by Executive in violation of this Agreement would cause so much injury to the Company that money alone could not fully compensate the Company and that the Company is entitled to injunctive and equitable relief. Executive also agrees that the Company would be entitled to recover money from Executive if this Agreement were violated.

10. Ongoing Covenants. Executive acknowledges that nothing in this Agreement shall limit or otherwise impact Executive’s continuing obligations of confidentiality to the Company in accordance with Company policy and applicable law, or any applicable Company policies or agreements between the Company and Executive with respect to non-competition or non-solicitation, and Executive covenants and agrees to abide by all such continuing obligations.

Nothing herein prohibits Executive from communicating, without notice to or approval by the Company, with any federal government agency about a potential violation of a federal law or regulation.

12. Integration; Severability. Except with respect to any continuing obligations to the Company, the terms and conditions of this Agreement constitute the entire agreement between Company and Executive and supersede all previous communications, either oral or
