If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding Units shall have been changed into, or exchanged for, a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, split, combination, contribution or exchange of shares, the Merger Consideration any other number or amount contained in this Agreement which is based upon the value of the Units shall be correspondingly adjusted to provide the holders of Units the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

(e) Closing Date Cash Payment. On the Closing Date, Platform Holdco shall pay to the Seller Representative by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account(s) specified by the Seller Representative (on behalf of MD Holdings) in writing at least two (2) days prior to the Closing Date an aggregate amount in cash (the “Closing Date Cash Payment”) equal to the sum of: (i) the aggregate amount of the cash payments set forth in Section 2.3(a) (determined in accordance with Section 3.7(a)), minus (ii) the Working Capital Escrow Amount. Upon receipt of the Closing Date Cash Payment, the Seller Representative shall pay the Closing Date Cash Payment to the Transferring Holders in accordance with Section 3.2(b) hereof.

(f) Working Capital Escrow. PAHL shall pay the Working Capital Escrow Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Escrow Account to be held and distributed by the Seller Representative in accordance with Section 3.7 hereof.

(g) Payment of Indebtedness. On the Closing Date, PAHL shall pay, or cause to be paid, on behalf of the Company, the Repaid Indebtedness by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Persons or bank accounts specified in the Payoff Letters for such Indebtedness delivered pursuant to Section 3.6(b).

(h) PAHL, Platform Holdco and the Retaining Holders agree to report the contributions pursuant to Section 2.3 and Section 2.4 and the conversion of Units pursuant to the Retaining Holder Exchange as a part of a single plan for U.S. federal income tax purposes and governed by Code section 351.

(i) Satisfaction of Plan Amounts. (A) any Indebtedness of PAHL or its Subsidiaries existing on the Closing Date, (B) any Indebtedness of PAHL or its Subsidiaries (including MD Holdings and the Company and its Subsidiaries) entered into on or after the Closing Date and (C) from and after the Closing Date, any Indebtedness under the First Lien Facility, shall not prohibit the payment of any of the cash amounts that made be required to be paid to the Plan pursuant to the Plan Exchange regardless of whether PAHL or any of its Subsidiaries (including MD Holdings and the Company and

its Subsidiaries) are then in default. In the event such Indebtedness does prohibit the payment of such amounts, on the Closing Date, PAHL shall post a letter of credit in such amount for the benefit of the Plan.

(j) Exchange Procedures. MD Holdings shall promptly (and in any event no more than five (5) Business Days) following the date of this Agreement, mail to each holder of record of a Unit an Instruction Letter. Upon delivery of an Instruction Letter, properly completed and duly executed, and such other documents as may be reasonably required pursuant to such instructions or otherwise reasonably requested by the Seller Representative, following and contingent upon the Closing, the Seller Representative shall issue and deliver to such delivering holder a check or wire transfer for the amount of cash that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.2(b) in respect of the Units formerly held, and any such Units shall forthwith be cancelled. Until transferred as contemplated by this Section 3.2(j), each Unit shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration payable in respect of such Unit, without any interest thereon.

Section 3.3 Contingent Purchase Price. Platform Holdco shall, and PAHL shall cause Platform Holdco to, pay to the Retaining Holders Representative an amount up to One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000.00), in cash or, provided such shares are then listed on the New York Stock Exchange or equivalent public trading market, PAHL Ordinary Shares in the sole discretion of PAHL, when and as determined by this Section 3.3 (as so determined, the “Contingent Purchase Price”). The determination of the amount of the Contingent Purchase Price payable, if any, shall be contingent on the performance of the consolidated operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the seven (7) year period commencing on the Closing Date (“Contingent Purchase Price Term”). The amount of the Contingent Purchase Price shall be determined in accordance with Appendix II. To the extent any portion of the Contingent Purchase Price is paid in equity securities of PAHL and any equity securities of PAHL are then publicly traded, PAHL agrees to file a resale registration statement under the Securities Act registering the sale of such equity securities by the recipients thereof as promptly as practicable following issuance thereof and shall keep such registration statement effective until all securities registered thereunder have been sold or may be sold without the effectiveness of such registration statement (whichever is earlier); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, PAHL may suspend the effectiveness of such registration statement and the use of any prospectus (or prospectus supplement) included therein in the event, and for such period of time as (1) such a suspension is required by the rules and regulations of the SEC as applied to PAHL, (2) such prospectus supplement ceases to meet the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act or (3) in the good faith determination by PAHL’s board of directors, offers and sales pursuant to such registration statement should not be made by reason of the existence of material undisclosed circumstances or developments with respect to which the disclosure that would be required in such registration statement would be premature and would have an adverse effect on PAHL. For purposes of calculating the value of each equity security of PAHL used to pay any portion of the Contingent Purchase Price, the value shall be equal to the PAHL Value Per Share as of the date of payment of the Contingent Purchase Price.

Within 60 days of the expiration of the Contingent Purchase Price Term, PAHL shall deliver to the Retaining Holders Representative a statement setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation

of the Contingent Purchase Price, if any (the “Contingent Purchase Price Statement”). The Retaining Holders Representative shall have 60 days to review and object to the Contingent Purchase Price Statement (“Contingent Purchase Price Review Period”). If the Retaining Holders Representative objects to the Contingent Purchase Price Statement, it shall deliver to PAHL a written statement setting forth the Retaining Holders Representative’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for its disagreement therewith (“Contingent Purchase Price Objection”). If the Retaining Holders Representative fails to deliver a Contingent Purchase Price Objection before the expiration of the Contingent Purchase Price Review Period, the Contingent Purchase Price reflected in the Contingent Purchase Price Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Retaining Holders Representative. If the Retaining Holders Representative delivers a Contingent Purchase Price Objection before the expiration of the Contingent Purchase Price Review Period, PAHL and the Retaining Holders Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within 30 days after the delivery of the Contingent Purchase Price Objection, and, if the same are so resolved within such 30 day period, the Contingent Purchase Price with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by PAHL and the Retaining Holders Representative, shall be final and binding. On the other hand, if PAHL and the Retaining Holders Representative are unable to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Contingent Purchase Price Objection within the 30 day period following the end of the Contingent Purchase Price Review Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (“CPP Disputed Amounts”) shall be submitted to the Contingent Purchase Price Independent Accountants, who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the CPP Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Contingent Purchase Price, as the case may be, and the Contingent Purchase Price Statement. The parties hereto agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Contingent Purchase Price Independent Accountants shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the parties and their decision for each CPP Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Contingent Purchase Price Statement and the Contingent Purchase Price Objection, respectively.

The Retaining Holders Representative shall pay a portion of the fees and expenses of the Contingent Purchase Price Independent Accountants equal to 100% multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of any disputed amounts submitted to the Contingent Purchase Price Independent Accountants that are resolved in favor of PAHL (that being the difference between the Contingent Purchase Price Independent Accountants’ determination and the Retaining Holders Representative’s determination) and the denominator of which is the total amount of disputed amounts submitted to the Contingent Purchase Price Independent Accountants (that being the sum total by which PAHL’S determination and the Retaining Holders Representative’s determination differ from the determination of the Contingent Purchase Price Independent Accountants). PAHL shall pay that portion of the fees and expenses of the Contingent Purchase Price Independent Accountants that the Retaining Holders Representative is not required to pay hereunder.

Section 3.4 Contingent Litigation Proceeds.

(a) Payment. As an integral part of the consideration to be paid in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, promptly following the occurrence of a Contingent Litigation Proceeds Payment Event, if any, Platform Holdco shall, and

PAHL shall cause Platform Holdco to, pay to an escrow account any Contingent Litigation Proceeds to be held pending final resolution of all of the Contingent Litigation Proceedings. Such escrow account shall be held with an escrow agent and pursuant to an escrow agreement both of which shall be mutually acceptable to PAHL and the Seller Representative, which such agreement shall require the mutual consent of PAHL and the Seller Representative to release any amounts held in such escrow account. PAHL may, in its sole discretion, elect to cause a Contingent Litigation Proceeds Release Event at any time and from time to time following any Contingent Litigation Proceeds Payment Event at which time PAHL and the Seller Representative shall execute joint written instructions to the escrow agent to release the Contingent Litigation Proceeds as set forth in such instructions. Upon a Contingent Litigation Proceeds Release Event, the Contingent Litigation Proceeds (MD Portion) shall be released to the Seller Representative for distribution to each Contingent Litigation Proceeds Recipient in an amount equal to such recipient’s Contingent Litigation Proceeds Sharing Percentage in accordance with the Merger and the Retaining Holder Exchange and the remainder of the Contingent Litigation Proceeds shall be released to PAHL or PAHL’s designee.

(b) Use of Paying Agent. In the sole discretion of the Seller Representative, the Seller Representative may engage an independent third party agent for the purpose of receiving the aggregate Contingent Litigation Proceeds (MD Portion) and distributing the same to the Contingent Litigation Proceeds Recipients.

(c) No Voting, Dividends or Interest; No Equity or Ownership Interest. Neither the Seller Representative, nor any Contingent Litigation Proceeds Recipient shall have any voting or dividend rights in PAHL, the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries in connection with the right to receive any portion of the Contingent Litigation Proceeds. The Contingent Litigation Proceeds shall not accrue interest in any event. The right to receive any portion of the Contingent Litigation Proceeds shall not constitute any equity or ownership interest in PAHL, the Company or any Subsidiary, whether now existing or hereafter formed.

(d) Nontransferable. The right to receive any portion of the Contingent Litigation Proceeds (MD Portion) shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or in any other manner transferred or disposed of, in whole or in part, other than through a Permitted Transfer.

(e) No Certificate. The right to receive any portion of the Contingent Litigation Proceeds shall not be evidenced by a certificate or any other instrument.

(f) Control of Proceedings. The Company shall have the sole right to control all aspects of the Contingent Litigation Proceedings, including entering into any settlement, or appealing the determination, of a Contingent Litigation Proceeding, ceasing to defend or pursue a Contingent Litigation Proceeding, pursuing injunctive, equitable or any other relief in a Contingent Litigation Proceeding or otherwise.

Section 3.5 Allocation of Total Holder Value. Attached as Appendix III is a schedule prepared by MD Holdings setting forth in detail a good faith estimate of the allocation of the

Total Holder Value for each MD Holdings Member on an individual basis. The parties hereto acknowledge that Appendix III cannot be finalized until the Final Adjustment Amount has been determined in accordance with this Agreement. Therefore, Appendix III attached hereto shall be deemed to be the good faith estimate of MD Holdings based upon the information available to it as of the date hereof. On the Closing Date, MD Holdings shall, following the calculation of all adjustments to be made on the Closing Date in accordance with this Agreement, deliver to PAHL a revised and updated Appendix III containing all necessary revisions to accurately reflect the allocation of the Total Holder Value for each MD Holdings Member on an individual basis (as determined on the Closing Date). On the date the Final Adjustment Amount is determined in accordance with this Agreement, MD Holdings shall deliver to PAHL a revised, updated and final Appendix III containing all necessary revisions to accurately reflect the allocation of the Total Holder Value for each MD Holdings Member on an individual basis.

Section 3.6 Deliveries at Closing.

(a) PAHL Deliveries. At the Closing, the Seller Representative shall have received:

(i) The payments set forth in Section 3.2, subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 3.7(a); and

Section 3.7 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Closing Adjustment. At least three Business Days before the Closing, MD Holdings shall cause the Company to prepare and deliver to PAHL a statement setting forth its good faith estimate of Closing Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital”), Closing Indebtedness (the “Estimated Closing Indebtedness”), and Closing Cash on Hand (“Estimated Closing Cash on Hand”), which statement shall contain an estimated balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein), a calculation of Estimated Closing Working Capital, Estimated Closing Indebtedness and Estimated Closing Cash on Hand (the “Estimated Closing Statement”), a calculation based on the Estimated Closing Statement of Company Preferred Stock Value, Company Preferred Stock Value (MD Portion), Company Equity Value, Company Equity Value (MD Portion) and Total Holder Value for each MD Holdings Member as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of MD Holdings, acknowledged and agreed to in writing by the Seller Representative, that the Estimated Closing Statement was prepared in accordance with GAAP applied using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in the preparation of the Company Financial Statements for the most recent fiscal year end as if such Estimated Closing Statement was being prepared and audited as of a fiscal year end. The “Closing Adjustment Amount” shall be an amount equal to (i) Estimated Closing Working Capital minus Target Working Capital, plus (ii) if positive, Estimated Closing Cash on Hand minus Target Cash minus (iii) if negative, the absolute value of Estimated Closing Cash on Hand minus Target Cash, minus (iv) the Estimated Closing Indebtedness. PAHL may object to MD Holdings’ Estimated Closing Statement and the Estimated Closing Working Capital, Estimated Closing Indebtedness and/or Estimated Closing Cash on Hand set forth therein, in which case MD Holdings and PAHL shall negotiate in good faith to agree on the Estimated Closing Working Capital, Estimated Closing Indebtedness and Estimated Closing Cash on Hand for purposes of determining the Closing Adjustment Amount. In the event that PAHL and MD Holdings are unable to resolve any such disputes through negotiation, the Estimated Closing Statement as prepared by the Company on behalf of MD Holdings shall be accepted for purposes of Closing, subject to Section 3.7(b).

(b) Post-Closing Adjustment. Within 45 days after the Closing Date, PAHL shall (or shall cause the Company to) prepare and deliver to the Seller Representative a statement setting forth its calculation of Company Equity Value, Closing Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness and Closing Cash on Hand on the Closing Date, which statement shall contain a balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (without giving effect to the transactions contemplated herein), a calculation of Company Equity Value, Closing Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash on Hand and the Final Adjustment Amount (the “Closing Statement”), a calculation based on the Closing Statement of Company Preferred Stock Value, Company Preferred Stock Value (MD Portion), Company Equity Value, Company Equity Value (MD Portion) and Total Holder Value for each MD Holdings Member as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of Company that the Closing Statement was

prepared in accordance with GAAP applied using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in the preparation of the Audited Financial Statements for the most recent fiscal year end as if such Closing Statement was being prepared and audited as of a fiscal year end.

(i) Examination. After receipt of the Closing Statement, the Seller Representative shall have 30 days (the “Review Period”) to review the Closing Statement. During the Review Period, the Seller Representative and its Accountants shall have reasonable access to the books and records of the Company, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, PAHL and/or PAHL’s Accountants to the extent that they relate to the Closing Statement and to such historical financial information (to the extent in PAHL’s or the Company’s possession) relating to the Closing Statement as the Seller Representative may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Statement and to prepare a Statement of Objections (defined below), provided, that such access shall be only provided during normal business hours on reasonable advance notice and in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of PAHL or the Company.

(ii) Objection. On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, the Seller Representative may object to the Closing Statement by delivering to PAHL a written statement setting forth the Seller Representative’s objections in reasonable detail indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for the Seller Representative’s disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”). If the Seller Representative fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Statement and the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, reflected in the Closing Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Seller Representative. If the Seller Representative delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, PAHL and the Seller Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within 30 days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Resolution Period, the calculation of the Final Adjustment Amount and the Closing Statement with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by PAHL and the Seller Representative, shall be final and binding.

(iii) Resolution of Disputes. If the Seller Representative and PAHL fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections before expiration of the Resolution Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (“Disputed Amounts” and any amounts not so disputed, the “Undisputed Amounts”) shall be submitted for resolution to the Independent Accountants who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the calculation of the Final Adjustment Amount, as the case may be, and the Closing Statement. The parties

hereto agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Independent Accountants shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the parties and their decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Closing Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively.

(iv) Fees of the Independent Accountants. The Seller Representative shall pay a portion of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants equal to 100% multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of Disputed Amounts submitted to the Independent Accountants that are resolved in favor of PAHL (that being the difference between the Independent Accountants’ determination and the Seller Representative’s determination) and the denominator of which is the total amount of Disputed Amounts submitted to the Independent Accountants (that being the sum total by which PAHL’S determination and the Seller Representative’s determination differ from the determination of the Independent Accountants). PAHL shall pay that portion of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants that the Seller Representative is not required to pay hereunder.

(v) Determination by Independent Accountants. The Independent Accountants shall make a determination as soon as practicable within 30 days (or such other time as the parties hereto shall agree in writing) after their engagement, and their resolution of the Disputed Amounts and their adjustments to the Closing Statement and/or the calculation of the Final Adjustment Amount shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto.

(d) Payments of Post-Closing Adjustment. Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment of the Final Adjustment Amount shall be due (x) within five Business Days of acceptance of the applicable Closing Statement or (y) if there are Disputed Amounts, then within five Business Days of the resolution described in Section 3.7(c)(v) above, and paid as follows:

(i) If the Final Adjustment Amount is positive, (x) PAHL shall pay the Seller Representative an amount in cash calculated by multiplying the Escrow Share of Post-Closing Adjustment times the Final Adjustment Amount, (y) the Seller Representative shall release all funds in the Escrow Account, each of (x) and (y) for further distribution to the Transferring Holders, and (z) PAHL shall pay the Seller Representative an amount in cash equal to the Seller Representative Expenses to the extent not previously paid by the Company, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account(s) specified by the Seller Representative in writing.

(ii) If the Final Adjustment Amount is negative, the Seller Representative shall release (x) to PAHL the lesser of (A) the amount of the funds in the Escrow Account and (B) an amount equal to (1) the absolute value of the Final Adjustment Amount multiplied by the Escrow Share of Post-Closing Adjustment less (2) the Seller Representative Expenses, by wire transfer of

immediately available funds to the bank account(s) specified by PAHL in writing and (y) any and all remaining funds in the Escrow Account to the Transferring Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount of the funds in the Escrow Account released to PAHL is less than the Escrow Share of Post-Closing Adjustment times the absolute value of the Final Adjustment Amount, PAHL agrees to provide notice to each Transferring Holder (i) that each such Transferring Holder has an obligation to contribute such holder’s Escrow Share Percentage Per Transferring Holder of such shortfall to PAHL and (ii) requesting prompt payment of such amount. To the extent any Transferring Holder pays more than its Escrow Share Percentage Per Transferring Holder of the Escrow Share of Post-Closing Adjustment of the Final Adjustment Amount, such Transferring Holder shall have a right of contribution from each Transferring Holder who has not paid such Transferring Holder’s Escrow Share Percentage Per Transferring Holder of the Escrow Share of Post-Closing Adjustment of the Final Adjustment Amount. The Seller Representative shall holdback any amounts otherwise payable to any Transferring Holders who owe a contribution pursuant to the foregoing sentence, including from any amounts payable in respect of any Contingent Litigation Proceeds, and shall pay such contribution amounts to any Transferring Holders who are entitled to receive any such contribution.

Section 3.8 Retaining Holder Exchange. Promptly after the Final Adjustment Amount has been determined, PAHL and Platform Holdco agree to determine, in accordance with this Agreement, the number of shares of Platform Holdco common stock that shall be issued to each Retaining Holder as a result of the Retaining Holder Exchange (determined using such Retaining Holder’s PAHL Exchange Ratio), which shares shall be exchangeable into Ordinary Shares of PAHL pursuant to the Retaining Holder Securityholders’ Agreement at any time on or after the earlier of the first anniversary of the Closing Date or such time as PAHL owns less than 50% of the Company Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, each Retaining Holder’s right to receive their allocable portion of Platform Holdco common stock shall be effective upon the consummation of the Retaining Holder Exchange. “PAHL Exchange Ratio” shall mean, with respect to a Retaining Holder, the number determined by dividing such Retaining Holder’s Retaining Holder Equity Value Per Holder by $11.00.

Section 3.9 Withholding. PAHL shall be entitled to upon prompt (but in any event no later than three (3) business days prior to the time of such withholding) notice to Seller Representative deduct and withhold from any amount otherwise payable hereunder to any Person any Tax required by applicable Tax Law to be deducted and withheld therefrom. Parent shall timely pay such Tax to the applicable Governmental Entity and, as soon as reasonably practicable after such payment, deliver to Seller Representative the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Entity (or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Seller Representative) evidencing such payment. To the extent any such Tax is so deducted and withheld and duly paid over to the applicable Governmental Entity, the amount of such deducted and withheld Tax shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 3.10 Plan Exchange. Promptly after the date of this Agreement, but before the Closing, PAHL agrees to initiate the an exchange (the “Plan Exchange”) pursuant to which

PAHL will offer the Plan the opportunity to exchange shares of Company Preferred Stock and Company Common Stock held by the Plan immediately prior to the Closing for consideration having a value equal to (i) for each share of Company Preferred Stock held by the Plan, the Company Preferred Stock Value Per Share (Plan Portion) and (ii) for each share of the Company Common Stock held by the Plan, the sum of (x) the Company Common Stock Value Per Share, as finally determined pursuant to Section 3.7, (y) $0.13 per share of Company Common Stock held by the Plan immediately prior to the Closing and (z) $0.39 per share of Company Common Stock held by the Plan immediately prior to the Closing (collectively, the “Plan Consideration”). Promptly following the Closing, PAHL agrees to file a registration statement under the Securities Act registering the exchange of shares pursuant to the Plan Exchange and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC.

PAHL additionally acknowledges and agrees that it shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the proceeds of the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter will be available as of the Closing Date to enable PAHL to pay off the amounts outstanding under the First Lien Facility if the Lender Consent is not obtained.

PAHL shall, upon reasonable request from MD Holdings, the Company or the Seller Representative from time to time, inform MD Holdings, the Company or the Seller Representative of the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing. If, to the Knowledge of PAHL, any portion of the Debt Financing is unavailable in the manner or from the sources contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter (other than as a result of the Company’s breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement), PAHL will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain alternative debt financing for such portion from alternative sources on terms and conditions no less favorable in all material respects than those contained in the Debt Commitment Letter; provided that PAHL shall not be required to obtain any alternative debt financing on terms and conditions that are less favorable in any material respect from the terms and conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter.

due diligence activities relating to the Company’s financial information, (ii) make management of the Company available to participate in meetings, (iii) provide such certificates, documents and financial reports as are required by the SEC or other regulatory bodies, standard underwriting practices or may be reasonably requested by PAHL and its financing sources, (iv) provide PAHL with such information regarding all of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ bank accounts and safe deposit boxes (including a complete and correct list of store level accounts) as may be reasonably requested by PAHL and its Financing Sources; provided, that nothing herein shall require (1) such cooperation to the extent it would interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries, (2) the Company to prepare or deliver any financial statements other than (x) audited financial statements of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 and (y) unaudited financial statements of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013 and as of March 31, 2013, and June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2013 and as of June 30, 2013, as applicable, which have been reviewed by the independent accountants of the Company as provided in the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 100; (3) deliver any other financial information in a form not customarily prepared by the Company or any financial information with respect to a month or fiscal period that has not yet ended or has ended less than 45 days prior to the date of such request, or (4) deliver or cause the delivery of any legal opinions or any certificate as to solvency. PAHL agrees that the execution by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any documents in connection with the financing for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby at the Closing and such documents will not take effect until the Closing. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.7(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be required to bear any out-of-pocket cost or expense, pay any fee or incur any liability or make any commitment or agreement effective in connection with the Debt Financing. PAHL shall promptly upon any request in writing by the Company reimburse the Company for all reasonable fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel) incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with their compliance with this Section 8.7. The Company hereby consents to the reasonable use of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Debt Financing, provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their logos and on such other customary terms and conditions as the Company shall reasonably impose.

Section 8.8 Transfer Taxes. All Transfer Taxes shall be paid by the Company at or following the Closing; provided that 50% of all Transfer Taxes, to the extent paid by the Company prior to Closing, shall be treated as current assets of the Company and, if not paid prior to Closing, shall not be excluded as current liabilities of the Company, in each case, for purposes of calculating Closing Working Capital.

Section 8.9 Regulatory Matters.

(a) Each of the parties hereto shall cooperate in connection with the preparation and filing of any statements, forms, documents or other instruments required pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Securities Act or FSMA or to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements; provided that no filing shall be made with the SEC or the FCA by the Company, MD Holdings, Newco or their respective Affiliates without the prior written approval of PAHL.

(b) At the Closing, the Company shall obtain, maintain and fully pay for irrevocable “tail” insurance policies naming the current and former managers, directors and officers of MD Holdings, the Company and its Subsidiaries as direct beneficiaries with a claims period of at least six (6) years from the Closing Date, the cost of which shall be a post-closing expense of the Company and not reduce Closing Cash or be included as a Company Transaction Expense. PAHL shall not, and shall cause the Company not to, cancel or change such insurance policies in any material respect.

(c) In the event PAHL, MD Holdings, the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then and in either such case proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of PAHL, MD Holdings or the Company or its Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 8.12.

(b) Prior to the Closing, PAHL shall promptly notify the Company and MD Holdings in writing of all events, circumstances, facts and occurrences arising subsequent to the date of this Agreement which would result in a breach of any representation or warranty or covenant of PAHL in this Agreement such that any of the conditions contained in Section 10.1 or Section 10.3 would not be satisfied.

Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain a written waiver from each Person who is a “disqualified individual” with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and to whom any payment or benefit has been or is required or proposed to be made that is reasonably expected to constitute a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code (the “Section 280G Payments”), waiving such Person’s right to receive some or all of such payments or benefits (the “Waived Benefits”) so that all remaining payments or benefits applicable to such Person shall not be deemed to be a parachute payment, and accepting in substitution for the Waived Benefits the right to receive the Waived Benefits only if approved by the stockholders of the Company in a manner that complies with Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the final regulations issuer thereunder. The Company shall deliver such waivers to PAHL promptly after their receipt by the Company. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to submit for approval by the stockholders of the Company in accordance with the terms of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code the right of each such Person who has executed such a waiver to receive or retain, as applicable, such Person’s Waived Benefits, with such stockholder approval to be solicited in a manner which satisfies all applicable requirements of such Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, including Q-7 of Section 1.280G-1 of such Treasury Regulations. In connection with the foregoing, PAHL and its Affiliates shall use reasonable best efforts to provide the Company, no later than five (5) days prior to Closing, with all information and documents necessary to allow the Company to determine whether any payments made or to be made or benefits granted or to be granted pursuant to any employment agreement or other agreement, arrangement or contract entered into or negotiated by PAHL or any of its Affiliates (“Purchaser Payments”), together with all other Section 280G Payments, could reasonably be considered to be parachute payments. The Company shall provide to PAHL, at least three (3) days prior to the solicitation of such stockholder vote, copies of all disclosure materials, waivers, parachute payment calculations and related materials to be used to effectuate such 280G approval, and PAHL shall be provided a reasonable opportunity (not to exceed three (3) days) to comment thereon. The use of such materials shall be subject to PAHL’s reasonable approval of such materials within the time limits of the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section or otherwise in this Agreement, to the extent PAHL has provided misinformation, or PAHL’s omission of information has resulted in misinformation, there shall be no breach of the representation contained in Section 4.12(k) or the covenants of the Company contained in this Section 8.15 but only to the extent actually caused by such omission or misinformation.

Section 12.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and by facsimile or portable document format (.pdf) transmission, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.

Section 12.4 Entire Agreement; Severability.

(a) This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and documents and the instruments referred to herein), the Ancillary Agreements (and the documents and the instruments referred to therein) and the Confidentiality Agreements constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

(b) If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 12.5 Governing Law. Subject to Section 12.16, this Agreement and any other document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution, termination, performance or nonperformance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), shall be governed and construed in accordance with the internal substantive laws of the State of Delaware applicable to a contract entered into and fully performed solely within the State of Delaware without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.

Section 12.6 Publicity. Prior to the earlier of termination of the Agreement in accordance with its terms and the Closing, except as otherwise required by applicable Law, neither PAHL, MD Holdings nor the Company shall, or shall permit any of its Subsidiaries to, issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement with respect to, or otherwise make any public statement concerning, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the consent of the Company, in the case of a proposed announcement or statement by PAHL, or PAHL, in the case of a proposed announcement or statement by the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except in the event that such release or announcement may be required by Law or the rules or regulations of any Self-Regulatory Organization, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow the other party reasonable time to comment on each release or announcement in advance of such issuance and shall consider in good faith the views and comments made by such other party. The initial press release relating to this Agreement shall be a joint press release the text of which has been agreed to by each of the Company and PAHL in advance.

Section 12.7 Assignment; Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 12.7, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sections 11.2, 12.2, 12.7, 12.9, 12.10, 12.11 and 12.16 are intended to be for the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the Financing Sources.

Section 12.8 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers; Consent to Service of Process. Subject to Section 12.16, each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect hereof brought by another party hereto or its successors or permitted assigns shall be brought and determined exclusively in any state court or Federal court sitting in New Castle County, Delaware and each of the parties hereto hereby (i) irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts in the event any dispute arises out or relates to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court and (iii) agrees that it will not bring any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby in any court other than any state court or Federal court sitting in New Castle County, Delaware. It is understood and agreed that any other court or arbiter in any other jurisdiction shall be entitled to enforce any Judgment of any state court or Federal court sitting in New Castle County, Delaware. Any writs, process or summonses to be served on any other party in such action or proceeding may be made by delivery of process in accordance with the notice provisions contained in Section 12.2 or as otherwise permitted by Law. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (i) the defense of sovereign immunity, (ii) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve process in accordance with this Section 12.8, (iii) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise), and (iv) to the fullest extent permitted by Law that (A) the suit, action or proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (B) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper and (C) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

Section 12.9 Enforcement of Agreement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the party seeking the injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief has an adequate remedy at law. To the extent any party hereto brings any action to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (other than an action solely to specifically enforce any provision that expressly survives termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.2

hereof) when available to such party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, if the Termination Date would otherwise expire during the pendency of such action, the Termination Date shall automatically be extended by (i) the amount of time during which such Action is pending, plus ten (10) Business Days, or (ii) such other time period established by the court presiding over such action. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company or any of its Affiliates have any rights or claims against any Financing Source or their respective Affiliates in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter, the Proposed Amendment, the Debt Financing, or any other agreement related thereto or hereto.

Section 12.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Section 12.11 Amendment; Waiver.

(a) This Agreement may not be amended or modified except (i) by an instrument in writing signed by, or on behalf of, the parties hereto or (ii) by a waiver in accordance with Section 12.11(b).

(b) Any party to this Agreement may extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party, waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party contained herein or in any document delivered by the other party pursuant hereto or waive compliance with any of the agreements of the other party or conditions to such party’s obligations contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of any party hereto to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

If none of the Business EBITDA Benchmarks or the Share Price Targets are met or exceeded on or prior to the Determination Date, no Contingent Purchase Price shall be payable. Within 30 days following the receipt by the Company of its audited financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, Platform Holdco shall deliver to the Retaining Holders Representative the Contingent Purchase Price Statement. No Contingent Purchase Price shall be payable until Platform Holdco and the Retaining Holders Representative have agreed upon the Contingent Purchase Price amount pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Agreement, notwithstanding when the Business EBITDA Benchmarks and/or the Share Price Targets are met.

(b) Up to $60,000,000.00 of the Contingent Purchase Price shall be payable based on the Business EBITDA Benchmarks, with $30,000,000.00 payable for reaching the 50% EBITDA Benchmark and an additional $30,000,000.00 payable for reaching the 100% EBITDA Benchmark. The determination of whether either of the Business EBITDA Benchmarks have been reached shall be made on each EBITDA Measurement Date such that if any of the Business EBITDA Benchmarks are reached as of any EBITDA Measurement Date, such Business EBITDA Benchmark(s) shall be deemed reached on the Determination Date, and the portion of the Contingent Purchase Price payable with respect to such Business EBITDA Benchmark shall be deemed earned, subject to the determination, objection and resolution procedures set forth in Section 3.3 of the Agreement.

(c) Up to $40,000,000.00 of the Contingent Purchase Price shall be payable based on the Share Price Targets, with $10,000,000.00 payable for reaching the 25% Share Price Target, an additional $10,000,000.00 payable for reaching the 50% Share Price Target and an additional $20,000,000.00 payable for reaching the 100% Share Price Target. If any of the Share Price Targets are reached between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2020, such Share Price Target(s) shall be deemed reached on the Determination Date, and the portion of the Contingent Purchase Price payable with respect to such Share Price Target shall be deemed earned, subject to the determination, objection and resolution procedures set forth in Section 3.3 of the Agreement.

For purposes of the foregoing, interest expense shall be determined after giving effect to any net payments made or received by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries during the Measurement Period with respect to interest rate swap contracts.

(j) “Consolidated Net Income” shall mean the net income of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, for the Measurement Period determined in accordance with GAAP before any adjustments for GAAP minority interests resulting from the consummation of the Agreement.

3. Adjustments.

(a) If, during the Measurement Period, PAHL or any of its Affiliates, including the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, consummates (whether by merger, recapitalization, consolidation, stock purchase, asset purchase or otherwise) either an acquisition of any other company or business or a disposition of any material portion of the Acquired Business, in each case, out of the ordinary course of business, (an “Acquired/Disposed Business”), Platform Holdco and the Retaining Holders Representative shall negotiate in good faith to adjust the Business EBITDA Benchmarks to account for the relative impact on the determination of Consolidated EBITDA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Platform Holdco and the Retaining Holders Representative are unable to mutually

[SIGNATURE PAGE TO BUSINESS COMBINATION AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER]

agree upon adjustments to the Business EBITDA Benchmarks within thirty (30) days following the consummation of such transactions, the results of operations of the Acquired/Disposed Business shall be excluded from the determination of Consolidated EBITDA and the Business EBITDA Benchmarks shall not be adjusted.

(b) If, during the Measurement Period, the shares of PAHL’s common stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of PAHL’s common stock, or if a dividend is paid in shares of PAHL’s common stock, the Share Price Targets shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or stock dividend or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares, in each such case by the ratio which the total number of shares of PAHL’s common stock outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of shares of PAHL’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.

4. Cooperation. PAHL, Platform Holdco and the Retaining Holders Representative acknowledge and agree that the intent of the adjustments set forth above is to measure the Business EBITDA Benchmarks and Share Price Targets following an adjustment event in a manner consistent with the measurement of the Business EBITDA Benchmarks and Share Price Targets prior to any such adjustment events. Further, PAHL, Platform Holdco and the Retaining Holders Representative agree that, in the event of any other material, non-ordinary course events, they shall cooperate in good faith to make such other appropriate adjustments consistent with such intent.

5. Payment. In the event that Platform Holdco is required to pay the Contingent Purchase Price, Platform Holdco shall make such payment in cash or PAHL Ordinary Shares (or equity securities of PAHL into which such Ordinary Shares have been converted prior to such payment date), in the sole discretion of Platform Holdco, in the manner set forth in Section 3.3 of the Agreement.
