“Superior Proposals. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if at any time from and after the date hereof and prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company receives an unsolicited written Company Takeover Proposal that is not withdrawn from any Person that did not result from a material breach of Section 6.4(a), and if the Company Board (after considering the recommendation of the Company Special Committee) has determined in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, (i) that such Company Takeover Proposal is bona fide and constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Superior Proposal, and (ii) failure to take the actions set forth in clauses (A) and (B) below would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, then the Company and its Representatives may, in response to such Company Takeover Proposal, (A) furnish, pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, information (including non-public information) with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries and afford access to the business, properties, assets, books, records or other non-public information, or to any personnel, of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to the Person that has made such written Company Takeover Proposal and its Representatives (provided that the Company shall, prior to or concurrently with the delivery to such Person, provide to Parent any information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is provided or made available to such Person or its Representatives unless such information has been previously provided to Parent) and (B) engage in or otherwise participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Company Takeover Proposal and its Representatives regarding such Company Takeover Proposal; provided that the Company and its Representatives may contact any Person in writing (with a request that any response from such Person is in writing) with respect to a Company Takeover Proposal to clarify any ambiguous terms and conditions thereof which are necessary to determine whether the Company Takeover Proposal constitutes a Company Superior Proposal (without the Company Board (or any committee thereof, including the Company Special Committee) being required to make the determination in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii)). The Company shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) notify Parent in writing if the Company Board makes the determinations set forth in this Section 6.4(b), and shall not take any of the actions set forth in clauses (A) and (B) prior to providing such notice.”

“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company Board, after considering the recommendation of the Company Special Committee, or the Company Special Committee may, in response to a Company Superior Proposal received by the Company after the date of this Agreement that did not result from a material breach of Section 6.4(a), (x) make a Change of Recommendation, or (y) cause the Company to validly terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1(d)(ii) in order to enter into a binding Company Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Company Superior Proposal; provided that prior to making such Change of Recommendation or terminating this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1(d)(ii), (A) the Company shall have given Parent at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action, including a summary of the material terms and conditions of, and the identity of the Person making any such Company Superior Proposal and contemporaneously provide to Parent a copy of the Company Superior Proposal and a copy of any proposed Company Acquisition Agreement and any other relevant transaction documents, (B) during such five (5)-Business Day period following the date on which such notice is received, the Company shall and shall cause its Representatives to, negotiate with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent wishes to negotiate) to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as Parent may propose, (C) upon the end of such notice period (or such subsequent notice period as contemplated by clause (D)), the Company Board (after considering the recommendation of the Company Special Committee) shall have considered in good faith any revisions to the terms of this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent, and shall have determined, after consultation with the Company’s independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that the Company Superior Proposal would nevertheless continue to constitute a Company Superior Proposal and the failure to make a Change of Recommendation or terminate this Agreement, as applicable, would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, and (D) in the event of any change to any of the financial terms (including the form, amount and timing of payment of consideration) or any other material terms of such Company Superior Proposal, the Company shall, in each case, have delivered to Parent an additional notice consistent with that described in clause (A) above of this proviso and a new notice period under clause (A) of this proviso shall commence (provided that the notice period thereunder shall only be three (3) Business Days) during which time the Company shall be required to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.4(d) anew with respect to such additional notice, including clauses (A) through (D) above of this proviso. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall enter into any Company Acquisition Agreement unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms.”]

12.            Amendment of Section 6.10(a)(ix). Section 6.10(a)(ix) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“On or before 5:00 p.m. Central Time on the date that is 7 days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, Parent shall deliver to the Company evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company, including customary bank statements and other records of deposit, that (i) the bank account set forth on Section 6.10(a)(ix) of the Parent Disclosure Letter (the “Additional Financing Bank Account”) contains an amount of cash available for withdrawal equal to or greater than $160,000,000 minus the Initial Escrow Deposit Amount minus the amount of Escrow Funds as of such date and (ii) the Persons authorized to draw on the Additional Financing Bank Account or to have access thereto are solely those Persons set forth on Section 6.10(a)(ix) of the Parent Disclosure Letter (such evidence, the “Evidence of Funding”). Following Parent’s delivery of such evidence in accordance with the foregoing, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, at all times prior to the earlier of the Effective Time and the date on which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 8.1, (A) maintain an amount of cash in the Additional Financing Bank Account available for withdrawal equal to or greater than $160,000,000 minus the Initial Escrow Deposit Amount minus the amount of Escrow Funds as of any such date and (B) not authorize any Person to draw on the Additional Financing Bank Account or otherwise have access thereto unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Company.”

“By written notice of the Company, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before 11:59 p.m. Central Time on November 29, 2024; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d)(vii) will not be available to the Company if it has breached in any material respect any provision of this Agreement in any manner that shall have been the primary cause of the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the such date.”

14.            Delivery of Qualifying Additional Financing Documents. As of the date hereof, Parent has delivered Additional Financing Documents to the Company which, in the aggregate, constitute Qualifying Additional Financing Documents. The Company hereby irrevocably waives its right to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(v) thereof.

15.            Updates to Company Disclosure Letter. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall have the right (but not the obligation) to update the Company Disclosure Letter to the extent information contained therein or any representation or warranty of the Company becomes untrue, incomplete or inaccurate after the date of the Agreement due to events, circumstances or effects after the date hereof or facts of which the Company becomes aware after the date hereof.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF Parent

Parent hereby represents and warrants to each Rollover Seller that, except as set forth on the Disclosure Schedule attached as Schedule B to this Agreement, which exceptions shall be deemed to be part of the representations and warranties made hereunder, the following representations are true and complete as of the date hereof, except as otherwise indicated. The Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in sections corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections contained in this Section 2, and the disclosures in any section or subsection of the Disclosure Schedule shall qualify other sections and subsections in this Section 2 only to the extent it is readily apparent from a reading of the disclosure on its face that such disclosure is applicable to such other sections and subsections.

For purposes of these representations and warranties (other than those in Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, and 2.5), the term the “Parent” shall include any subsidiaries of Parent, unless otherwise noted herein.

2.1           Organization, Good Standing, Corporate Power and Qualification. Parent is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted. Parent is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means a material adverse effect on the business, assets (including intangible assets), liabilities, financial condition, property or results of operations of the Parent.

2.2           Capitalization.

2.2.1        The authorized capital of Parent consists, immediately prior to the Rollover and Sale Closing, of:

(a)            Not less than 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”). As of the Rollover and Sale Closing, all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock will have been duly authorized, will be fully paid and nonassessable and will have been issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. Parent holds no Common Stock in its treasury.

(b)            200,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”), all of which have been designated as “Series A Preferred Stock,” none of which are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Rollover and Sale Closing. The rights, privileges and preferences of the Preferred Stock are as stated in the Restated Certificate and as provided by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Parent holds no Preferred Stock in its treasury.

2.2.2        The issued and outstanding Equity Interests of Parent, the holders of such Equity Interests and the number and class of such interests as of the Transaction Closing are set forth on Section 2.2.2 of the Disclosure Schedule. Except for the conversion privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock to be issued under this Agreement, and Parent’s obligation to consummate the Common Equity Investment, there are no outstanding options, warrants, rights (including conversion or preemptive rights and rights of first refusal or similar rights) or agreements, orally or in writing, to purchase or acquire from Parent, or for Parent to issue, any shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, or any Equity Interests. There are no outstanding obligations of Parent (contingent or otherwise) to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any Equity Interests of Parent. Parent is not subject to, and no Person has any right to and, to Parent’s knowledge, there is no condition or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to give rise to or provide a basis for the assertion of a valid claim by any Person to the effect that such Person is entitled to acquire any Equity Interests of Parent. There are no outstanding stock-appreciation rights, stock-based performance units, “phantom” stock rights or other similar contracts or obligations of any character (contingent or otherwise) pursuant to which any Person is or may be entitled to receive any payment or other value based on the revenues, earnings or financial performance, equity value or other attribute of Parent. There are no bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness of Parent outstanding having the right to vote (or convertible into, or exchangeable for, securities having the right to vote) on any matters on which any stockholders of Parent may vote. There are no declared or accrued but unpaid dividends or distributions with respect to any Equity Interests of Parent and there is no liability for distributions accrued and unpaid by Parent. Other than this Agreement and the Stockholders’ Agreement, there are no contracts or other agreements between Parent or any of its subsidiaries (on the one hand) and its stockholders or their respective affiliates (on the other hand) regarding the Equity Interests of Parent or otherwise relating to Parent or its subsidiaries or their respective businesses. For purposes of this Agreement, “Equity Interests” means (i) any type of equity ownership interest or voting interest in any Person, including (x) in the case of a corporation, any and all shares (however designated) of capital stock, (y) in the case of an association or business entity, any and all shares, interests, participations, rights or other equivalents (however designated) of capital stock and (z) in the case of a partnership or limited liability company, any and all partnership or membership interests (whether general or limited), (ii) any other interest or participation that confers on a Person the right to receive a share of the profits and losses of, or distributions of assets of, any Person, or any subscriptions, calls, warrants or options of any kind entitling a Person to purchase or otherwise acquire shares, partnership, or membership interests or any other equity securities of any Person (including phantom share, share appreciation, profit participation or other similar rights) and (iii) in any case, any right to acquire, or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, any of the foregoing. For purposes of this Agreement, “Person” means any individual, corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company, association or other entity.

2.3           Subsidiaries. Merger Sub is the only subsidiary of Parent. Except for Merger Sub, Parent does not currently own or control, directly or indirectly, any interest in any other corporation, partnership, trust, joint venture, limited liability company, association, or other business entity. Parent is not a participant in any joint venture, partnership or similar arrangement. Merger Sub does not own or control, directly or indirectly, any interest in any other corporation, partnership, trust, joint venture, limited liability company, association, or other business entity. Other than the Liabilities of Merger Sub pursuant to the Transaction Agreements and the Merger Agreement (and the other agreements referred to therein and entered into in connection therewith) and any fees, expenses and costs incurred or payable by Merger Sub in connection with the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Agreements and the Merger Agreement (and the other agreements referred to therein and entered into in connection therewith), Merger Sub does not have any Liabilities. For purposes of this Agreement, “Liability” means any obligation, liability, debt, loss, damage, adverse claim, fine, penalty, or deficiency of such Person of any kind, character or description, whether absolute or contingent, accrued or unaccrued, asserted or unasserted, known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated, due or to become due, fixed or unfixed, disputed or undisputed, joint or several, vested or unvested, executory, determined, determinable or otherwise and regardless of when or by whom asserted, including those arising under any law or any contract, arrangement or undertaking, whether or not the same is required to be accrued on the financial statements of such Person. For purposes of this Agreement, “Transaction Agreements” means this Agreement and the Stockholders’ Agreement.

2.4           Authorization.

All action on the part of the officers of Parent necessary for the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements, the performance of all obligations of Parent under this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements to be performed as of the Rollover and Sale Closing, and the issuance and delivery of the Series A Preferred Stock has been taken or will be taken prior to the Rollover and Sale Closing. This Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements, when executed and delivered by Parent, shall constitute valid and legally binding obligations of Parent, enforceable against Parent in accordance with their respective terms except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or (b) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.

2.5           Valid Issuance of Shares. The Series A Preferred Stock, when issued and delivered in accordance with the terms and for the consideration set forth in this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free and clear of all restrictions, liens or other encumbrances (other than restrictions on transfer under the Stockholders’ Agreement, the Restated Certificate, applicable state and federal securities laws, or liens or encumbrances created by or imposed by a Rollover Seller). Assuming the accuracy of the representations of the Rollover Sellers in Section 3 of this Agreement and subject to any filings required by applicable state and federal securities laws, the Series A Preferred Stock will be issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. The Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock has been duly reserved for issuance, and upon issuance in accordance with the terms of the Restated Certificate, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free of all restrictions, liens or other encumbrances (other than restrictions on transfer under the Stockholders’ Agreement, the Restated Certificate, applicable state and federal securities laws or liens or encumbrances created by or imposed by a Rollover Seller). Assuming the accuracy of the representations of the Rollover Sellers in Article 3 of this Agreement, the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock will be issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws.

2.6           Governmental Consents and Filings; Consent Generally. Assuming the accuracy of the representations made by the Rollover Sellers in Section 3 of this Agreement, no consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any federal, state or local governmental authority is required on the part of Parent in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for (a) the filing of the Restated Certificate, which will have been filed as of the Rollover and Sale Closing, and (b) filings pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and applicable state securities laws, which have been or will be made in a timely manner. The execution and delivery by Parent of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements, and the performance by Parent of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and therein by Parent do not and will not violate, conflict with or result in a breach of, or a default under, (i) any provision of Parent’s Restated Certificate or Bylaws (together, “Parent’s Charter Documents”), (ii) any provision of any material agreement or instrument to which Parent is a party or by which it or its property are subject to or bound or affected or (iii) to the knowledge of Parent, any applicable law or regulation.

2.7           Litigation. There is no claim, demand, action, suit, proceeding, arbitration, complaint, charge, inquiry, hearing, order, judgment, temporary or permanent injunction, or investigation pending, threatened in writing, or to Parent’s knowledge, threatened orally, in each case (a) against Parent or Merger Sub or their respective assets or properties, (b) against any officer or director or employee of Parent or Merger Sub arising out of their employment or board relationship with Parent or Merger Sub (as applicable), or (c) that questions the validity of this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements or the right of Parent to enter into them, or to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements. Neither Parent, Merger Sub nor, to Parent’s knowledge, any of their respective officers or directors (in their role as such) is a party or is named as subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality (in the case of officers or directors, such as would affect Parent). There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation by Parent or Merger Sub pending or which Parent or Merger Sub intends to initiate.

2.8           Compliance with Other Instruments. Neither Parent nor Merger Sub is in violation or default (a) of any provisions of the Parent’s Charter Documents or with respect to Merger Sub, similar governing documents, (b) of any instrument, judgment, order, writ or decree, (c) under any note, indenture or mortgage, (d) under any material contract to which it is a party or by which it is bound, or (e) of any provision of federal or state statute, rule or regulation applicable to Parent or Merger Sub, in the case of sub-clauses (c) or (d), the violation of which would have a Material Adverse Effect. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements will not result in any such violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, a default under any of the foregoing listed in clauses (a) through (e).

2.9           Rights of Registration and Voting Rights. Except as contemplated in the Stockholders’ Agreement, Parent is not under any obligation to register under the Securities Act any of its currently outstanding Equity Interests or the Series A Preferred Stock. Except as contemplated in the Stockholders’ Agreement, to Parent’s knowledge, no stockholder of Parent has entered into any agreements with respect to the voting or transfer of capital shares of Parent.
