THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of May 4, 2017 (this “Agreement”), is made by and among Avantor, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Vail Acquisition Corp, a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, and VWR Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

WHEREAS, the parties hereto intend that, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation, and, pursuant to the Merger, each share of Company Common Stock shall be converted in the Merger into the right to receive an amount per share equal to $33.25 in cash and without interest (the “Merger Consideration”);

WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Company has (i) determined that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Transactions”) are fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, (ii) duly authorized and approved the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the Transactions, (iii) declared this Agreement and the Transactions advisable and (iv) resolved to recommend that the Company’s stockholders adopt this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the boards of directors of Parent and Merger Sub have duly authorized and approved the execution, delivery and performance by Parent and Merger Sub of this Agreement and the consummation by Parent and Merger Sub of the Transactions, and the board of directors of Merger Sub has declared this Agreement advisable;

WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe various conditions to the Merger;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Varietal Distribution Holdings, LLC (“VDH”) has entered into a voting and support agreement, dated as of the date hereof, in substantially the form set forth in Annex I, pursuant to which, among other things, VDH has agreed to vote its shares of Company Common Stock in favor of the Merger and the adoption of this Agreement as set forth therein (the “Voting Agreement”).

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

The Merger

SECTION 1.01 The Merger. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), at the Effective Time, the Company and Merger Sub shall consummate the Merger, whereby Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”).

SECTION 1.02 Merger Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Merger Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Kirkland & Ellis LLP, 601 Lexington Ave., New York, New York 10022 on the second business day following the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Law) waiver by the party or parties entitled to the benefits thereof of the conditions set forth in Article VI, other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Merger Closing, unless another date, time or place is agreed to in writing by Parent and the Company (but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at the Merger Closing); provided that, notwithstanding the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties hereto, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall not be required to effect the Merger Closing until the earlier of (i) a business day during the Marketing Period specified by Parent on no less than two business days’ prior written notice to the Company and (ii) the second business day following the final day of the Marketing Period (subject in each case to the satisfaction of conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Merger Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at the Merger Closing)). The date on which the Merger Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.”

SECTION 1.03 Effective Time. Prior to the Merger Closing, the Company shall prepare, and on the Closing Date the Company shall file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, a certificate of merger or other appropriate documents (in any such case, the “Certificate of Merger”) executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL and shall make all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL to effectuate the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with such Secretary of State or at such other time as Parent and the Company shall agree and specify in the Certificate of Merger (the time the Merger becomes effective being the “Effective Time”).

SECTION 1.04 Effects of Merger. The Merger shall have the effects provided in this Agreement and as set forth in the DGCL.

SECTION 1.05 Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws.

(a) Subject to Section 5.04, at the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company shall be amended and restated in its entirety to be in the form attached as Exhibit A and, as so amended and restated, such certificate of incorporation shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or permitted by applicable Law.

(b) Subject to Section 5.04, the By-laws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the By-laws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or permitted by applicable Law, except that references to the name of Merger Sub shall be replaced by the name of the Surviving Corporation.

SECTION 1.06 Directors and Officers.

(a) The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be.

(b) The officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, as the case may be.

SECTION 1.07 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) or any shares of capital stock of Merger Sub:

(a) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Cancelation of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock that is owned by the Company (other than any shares of Company Common Stock owned by any Company Subsidiary, which shall remain outstanding), Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(c) Conversion of other Company Common Stock. Subject to Sections 1.07(b) and 1.07(d), each issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of any such shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.08, without interest.

(d) Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares (“Appraisal Shares”) of Company Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by any Person who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such Appraisal Shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”) shall not be converted into the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 1.07(c), but instead the holders of Appraisal Shares shall be entitled to payment of the fair market value of such Appraisal Shares in accordance with Section 262; provided that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Appraisal Shares shall cease and such Appraisal Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for the right to receive, the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 1.07(c). The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent of any demands received by the Company for

appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock and Parent shall have the right to participate (as defined for this purpose in Section 5.09) in, and direct all negotiations and Proceedings with respect to, such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, approve any withdrawal of any such demands or waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or otherwise to comply with the provisions under Section 262 of the DGCL or agree to do any of the foregoing. Parent shall not, except with the prior written consent of the Company, require the Company to make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

SECTION 1.08 Payment of Merger Consideration.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall select a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the payment of the Merger Consideration to former holders of Company Common Stock. Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, deposit with the Paying Agent, substantially simultaneously with the Effective Time, cash necessary to pay for the shares of Company Common Stock converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.07(c) (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Payment Fund”).

(b) Payment Procedure. As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but in no event later than two business days after the Effective Time), the Surviving Corporation or Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Certificates”) that were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.07 (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 Paying Agent, and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as are customary and reasonably acceptable to the Company and Parent) and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate to the Paying Agent for cancelation, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the amount of cash into which the shares of Company Common Stock theretofore represented by such Certificate are converted pursuant to Section 1.07 and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered 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 payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.08, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the amount of cash, without interest, into which the shares of Company Common Stock theretofore represented by such Certificate have been converted pursuant to Section 1.07. No interest shall be paid or accrue on the cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate.

(c) Treatment of Book-Entry Shares. No holder of record of Book-Entry Shares shall be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Paying Agent to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of such Book-Entry Shares. In lieu thereof, such holder of record shall upon receipt by the Paying Agent of an “agent’s message” in customary form (or such other evidence, if any, as the Paying Agent may reasonably request) be entitled to receive, and the Surviving Corporation or Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but in no event later than two business days after the Effective Time to each such holder of record as of the Effective Time), an amount of U.S. dollars equal to the aggregate amount of Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled hereunder and such Book-Entry Shares shall forthwith be canceled.

(d) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. The Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article I as a result of the conversion of any shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock, subject, however, to the Surviving Corporation’s obligation to pay any dividends or make any other distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time that may have been declared or made by the Company on such shares of Company Common Stock not in violation of the terms of this Agreement or prior to the date of this Agreement. After the Effective Time there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for any reason they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article I.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the applicable Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate.

(f) Termination of Payment Fund. Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains undistributed as of the 12 month anniversary of the Closing Date shall be delivered to Parent or its designated affiliate, upon demand, and any former holder of Company Common Stock entitled to payment of Merger Consideration who has not theretofore complied with this Article I shall thereafter look only to Parent or its successor-in-interest for payment of its claim for Merger Consideration (subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat and other similar Law).

(g) No Liability. None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any cash from the Payment Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificate has not been surrendered prior to the date on which the Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, any such Merger Consideration in respect of such

Certificate shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, immediately prior to such date become the property of the Surviving Corporation or its designated affiliate, free and clear of any claims or interest of any such holders or their successors, assigns or personal representative previously entitled thereto, subject to the claims of any former holder of Company Common Stock entitled to payment of Merger Consideration who has not theretofore complied with this Article I.

(h) Investment of Payment Fund. The Payment Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent in (i) short-term direct obligations of the United States of America or (ii) short-term obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged to provide for the payment of principal and interest. Nothing contained in this Section 1.08(h) and no investment losses resulting from the investment of the Payment Fund shall diminish the rights of the stockholders to receive the Merger Consideration. To the extent there are losses or the Payment Fund diminishes for any reason below the level required to promptly pay the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.07(c), Parent shall replace or restore the cash in the Payment Fund to ensure the prompt payment of the Merger Consideration. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be the property of, and paid to, Parent or its designated affiliate.

SECTION 1.09 Equity Awards.

(a) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company Stock Option, whether or not exercisable or vested, shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive (i) an amount in cash determined by multiplying (A) the excess (if any) of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock underlying such Company Stock Option by (B) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (such amount, the “Company Stock Option Cash Consideration”). Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay the Company Stock Option Cash Consideration at or reasonably promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than the first payroll date after the Effective Time unless the first payroll date after the Effective Time is less than three business days after the Effective Time, in which case, the second payroll date after the Effective Time). Following the Effective Time, no holder of any Company Stock Option shall have the right to acquire any equity interest in the Company or the Surviving Corporation in respect thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, any Company Stock Option with an exercise price per share of Company Common Stock that equals or exceeds the Merger Consideration shall be cancelled without the payment of consideration.

(b) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit granted under the Company Stock Plan with respect to shares of Company Common Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Company RSUs”) shall be converted into a vested right to receive cash in an amount equal to the Merger Consideration and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay such amount at or reasonably promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than the first payroll date after the Effective Time unless the first payroll date after the Effective Time is less than three business days after the Effective Time, in which case, the second payroll date after the Effective Time).

(c) Each share of Company Common Stock issued pursuant to the Company Stock Plan that is subject to specified vesting criteria (each, a share of “Restricted Stock”) which is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall at the Effective Time become fully vested and be treated in accordance with Section 1.07. At the Effective Time, any outstanding dividends associated with any share of Restricted Stock shall be paid out by the Company in a cash lump sum to the holder thereof.

(d) The Company shall not commence any purchase period under the Company ESPP after the date hereof, the Company shall not permit any participant to commence participation in the Company ESPP or to increase the amount of the purchase election under the Company ESPP with respect to the current purchase period and, immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cause the Company ESPP to terminate. In the event that the current purchase period under the Company ESPP remains in progress as of the Closing Date, the Closing Date shall constitute the “Exercise Date” (as defined in the Company ESPP) with respect to such purchase period, and the shares of Company Common Stock acquired thereby shall be converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration as provided under Section 1.07.

(e) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if duly authorized, any committee thereof administering the Company Stock Plan) shall adopt such resolutions or take action by written consent in lieu of a meeting providing for the transactions contemplated by this Section 1.09.

(f) No later than the Effective Time, Parent shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to the Surviving Corporation all funds necessary to fulfill the obligations under this Section 1.09.

SECTION 1.10 Tax Receivables Agreement. At the Effective Time, Parent shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to the Surviving Corporation all funds necessary to fulfill its obligations under the Tax Receivables Agreement. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to comply with its obligations under the Tax Receivables Agreement and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to make all payments under the Tax Receivables Agreement that become due in connection with the Merger to be made at the Effective Time.

ARTICLE II

or (ii) set forth in the letter, dated as of the date of this Agreement, from the Company to Parent and Merger Sub (which shall be arranged in numbered sections corresponding to the numbered sections contained in this Article II, and the disclosure in any section shall be deemed to qualify or apply to other sections in this Article II to the extent that it is reasonably apparent that such disclosure also qualifies or applies to such other sections, the “Company Disclosure Letter”); provided, however, that no such disclosure shall be deemed to qualify Section 4.01 or Section 2.08(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter (except to the extent set forth on Section 4.01 or Section 2.08(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, respectively), the Company represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub as follows:

SECTION 2.01 Organization, Standing and Power. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company (a) has full power and authority necessary to enable it to own, lease or otherwise hold its properties, rights and assets and to conduct its business as presently conducted and (b) is duly qualified or licensed to do business in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business or its ownership or leasing of its properties makes such qualification or licensing necessary, other than where the failure to have such power and authority or to be so qualified or licensed would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Company Material Adverse Effect. True and complete copies of the certificate of incorporation of the Company, as amended to the date of this Agreement (as so amended, the “Company Charter”), and the By-laws of the Company, as amended to the date of this Agreement (as so amended, the “Company By-laws”), are included in the Filed Company SEC Documents.

(b) All outstanding shares of Company Common Stock are, and all such shares that may be issued prior to the Effective Time will be when issued, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to preemptive rights.

(c) As of the date of this Agreement, there are no bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness of the Company having the right to vote (or convertible into, or exchangeable for, securities having the right to vote) on any matters on which holders of Company Common Stock may vote by virtue of their ownership thereof (“Voting Company Debt”). Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary is party to any Contracts with respect to the voting (including voting trusts or proxies) of any shares of Company Common Stock or other voting securities or equity interests of the Company.

(d) Except as set forth above, as of the date of this Agreement, there are no options, warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities, stock-based performance units or other rights or Contracts to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound (i) obligating the Company to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or sold, additional shares of capital stock of, or any security convertible or exchangeable for any shares of capital stock of, the Company or any Voting Company Debt, (ii) obligating the Company to issue, grant or enter into any such option, warrant, security, unit, right or Contract or (iii) that give any Person the right to receive any economic interest of a nature accruing to the holders of Company Common Stock by virtue of their ownership thereof.

(e) All Company Stock Options, Restricted Stock and Company RSUs are evidenced by written award agreements, in each case substantially in the forms that have been made available to Parent, except that such agreements differ from such forms and from one another with respect to the number of Company Stock Options or shares of Company Common Stock covered thereby, the exercise price (if applicable), the vesting schedule, the grant date and expiration date applicable thereto and other similar terms.

SECTION 3.10 Financing.

(a) Parent has delivered to the Company a true, accurate and complete copy of (i) the executed debt commitment letter, dated as of the date of this Agreement, by and among Parent and the agents and lenders party thereto (together with any other additional lead arrangers, bookrunners, managers, arrangers, agents, co-agents or lenders who become party thereto, collectively, the “Lenders”), including all exhibits, schedules, term sheets, annexes and amendments thereto and any executed fee letters (redacted in respect of (A) the amounts, percentages and basis points of compensation set forth therein and (B) the pricing and other economic terms of the “market flex” provisions set forth therein) (with respect to such redactions described in subclauses (A) and (B) in this clause (i), none of which would adversely affect the amount, conditionality, termination or availability of such financing) (collectively, the “Debt Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which, and subject to the terms and conditions of which, the Lenders have committed to lend the amounts set forth therein to Parent for the purpose of paying the Required Amount on the Closing Date (such committed debt financing pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter, together with, unless the context otherwise requires, any debt securities issued in lieu thereof, the “Debt Financing”), (ii) an executed preferred equity commitment letter from the initial purchaser party thereto (together with any other purchasers who become party thereto, collectively, the “Preferred Equity Investor”), including all exhibits, schedules, annexes and amendments thereto and any executed closing payment letters (redacted in respect of (A) the amounts, percentages and basis points of compensation set forth therein, (B) the pricing and other economic terms set forth therein and (C) term sheets attached thereto) (with respect to such redactions described in subclauses (A) through (C) of this clause (ii), none of which would adversely affect the amount, conditionality, termination or availability of such equity financing) (collectively, the “Preferred Equity Commitment Letter” and, together with the Debt Commitment Letter, the “Commitment Letters”) to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions therein, preferred equity securities of Parent (or its Affiliate) in an initial aggregate liquidation preference amount set forth therein for the purpose of payment of the Required Amount on the Closing Date (such committed preferred equity purchase, the “Preferred Equity Financing” and, together with the Debt Financing, the “Financing”).

(b) As of the date hereof, the Commitment Letters are in full force and effect and have not been withdrawn, rescinded or terminated, or otherwise amended or modified in any respect and no amendment or modification is contemplated (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, amendments to each of the Preferred Equity Commitment Letter and the Debt Commitment Letter solely to add purchasers, equity investors, lenders, arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities, as applicable, as parties thereto who had not executed the Preferred Equity Commitment Letter or the Debt Commitment Letter, as applicable, as of the date hereof), and each of the Commitment Letters, in the form so delivered, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent and, to the knowledge of Parent, the other parties thereto,

enforceable against it or them, as the case may be, in accordance with its terms except as enforceability may be affected by the Bankruptcy, Equity and Indemnity Exception. As of the date hereof, the Commitment Letters are the only agreements relating to the Financing and there are no other Contracts, agreements, “side letters” or other arrangements to which Parent or any of its affiliates is a party relating to the Commitment Letters or the Financing.

(c) As of the date hereof, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to result in, a default, breach or failure to satisfy any term or condition of the Commitment Letters on the part of Parent or, to the knowledge of Parent, any other party to the Commitment Letters, or would (i) make any of the assumptions or any of the statements set forth in the Commitment Letters inaccurate in any material respect, (ii) result in any of the conditions in the Commitment Letters not being satisfied or (iii) otherwise result in the Financing not being available on the Closing Date. As of the date hereof, no Lender party to the Debt Commitment Letter has notified Parent of its termination or repudiation (or intent to terminate or repudiate) any of the commitments under such Debt Commitment Letter or intent not to provide the Debt Financing. As of the date hereof, no party to the Preferred Equity Commitment Letter has notified Parent of its termination or repudiation (or intent to terminate or repudiate) any of the commitments under such Preferred Equity Commitment Letter or intent not to provide the Preferred Equity Financing. Assuming satisfaction of the Company’s obligations contained in Section 5.15(a) and the conditions in Section 6.01 and 6.02, as of the date hereof, Parent has no reason to believe that it will fail to satisfy any of the conditions in the Commitment Letters on a timely basis nor does Parent have knowledge that any of the other parties to the Commitment Letters will not perform their respective obligations thereunder.

(d) Parent has fully paid (or caused to be paid) any and all commitment fees or other fees required by the Commitment Letters to be paid on or before the date of this Agreement. The aggregate proceeds from the Financing (after netting out applicable closing payments, fees, expenses, original issue discount and similar premiums and charges and after giving effect to the maximum amount of flex (including original issue discount flex) provided under the Debt Commitment Letter) constitute all of the financing required for the consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions, and are sufficient in amount for Parent to refinance Parent’s, Merger Sub’s and certain of their affiliates’ existing indebtedness for borrowed money and to satisfy all of its obligations under this Agreement, including paying the Merger Consideration, any other amounts required to be paid in connection with the consummation of the Transactions (including any amounts payable in respect of Company Stock Options and the Tax Receivables Agreement) and all associated fees, costs and expenses in connection with the Merger and the other Transactions it is required to pay, including the Financing (collectively, the “Required Amount”). The only conditions precedent related to the obligations of the Preferred Equity Investor to fund the full amount of the Preferred Equity Financing and the Lenders to fund the full amount of the Debt Financing are expressly set forth in the Preferred Equity Commitment Letter and the Debt Commitment Letter, respectively.

(e) Parent’s obligation to consummate the Merger is not contingent on Parent’s ability to obtain any financing, whether pursuant to the Commitment Letters or otherwise.

(f) None of Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective affiliates has entered into any Contract, arrangement or understanding (i) awarding any agent, broker, investment banker or financial advisor any financial advisory role on an exclusive basis in connection with the Transactions or (ii) expressly prohibiting any bank, investment bank or other potential provider of debt financing from providing or seeking to provide debt financing or financial advisory services to any Person in connection with a transaction relating to the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries in connection with the Transactions.

SECTION 3.11 Solvency. Neither of Parent nor Merger Sub is entering into this Agreement with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries. Assuming (a) satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations to consummate the Merger (including the condition set forth in Section 6.02(a)), (b) the Required Information fairly presents the consolidated financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries as at the end of the periods covered thereby and the consolidated results of earnings of the Company and its subsidiaries for the periods covered thereby and (c) any financial forecasts of the Company made available to Parent as of the date hereof have been prepared in good faith upon assumptions that were reasonable at such time (it being understood that the Company is not making any representation and warranty with respect thereto, including as a result of such assumption in this clause (c)), and after giving effect to the Transactions and the payment of the Merger Consideration and the Required Amount, the Surviving Corporation will be Solvent. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Solvent,” when used with respect to any Person, means that, as of any date of determination, (a) the fair value of the assets of such Person and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, at a fair valuation, will exceed the debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, of such Person and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of such Person and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of such Person and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis on their debts and other liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured, (c) such Person and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged as such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date and (d) such Person and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be able to pay their debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured.

SECTION 3.12 Independent Investigation. Parent and Merger Sub have conducted their own independent investigation, review and analysis of the business, operations, assets, liabilities, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, which investigation, review and analysis was done by Parent and its affiliates and Representatives. In entering into this Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge that they have not relied upon any statements, representations or opinions of the Company or its Representatives, except the representations and warranties of the Company made in Article II or in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(c). Except for the representations and warranties of the Company made in Article II or in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(c), Parent acknowledges and agrees that none of the Company, any of the Company Subsidiaries and affiliates or any other Person makes, nor is Parent or Merger Sub

relying on, any other express, implied or statutory representation or warranty with respect to or on behalf of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or their affiliates or with respect to any other information provided or made available to Parent, Merger Sub or their Representatives in connection with the Merger or the other Transactions, including the accuracy or completeness thereof. Parent acknowledges that there are assumptions inherent in making any projections, estimates and budgets, Parent is familiar with such uncertainties and that Parent is responsible for making its own evaluation of the Company and shall have no claim against the Company or any other Person with respect thereto.

SECTION 3.13 No Foreign Person. As of the date of this Agreement, none of the Equity Investors, Parent, or Merger Sub is or will be a “foreign person” within the meaning of 31 C.F.R. § 800.216 (a “Foreign Person”) such that the Merger or the other Transactions would constitute a covered transaction within the meaning of 31 C.F.R. § 800.207 subject to a national security review, national security investigation, or action by the President as prescribed in Section 721 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, 50 U.S.C. § 4501 et seq., as amended by the Foreign Investment and National Security Act of 2007 (a “Covered Transaction”).

(d) Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) (A) withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, or propose publicly to withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the Company Board Recommendation, (B) approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend, any Company Takeover Proposal, (C) fail to publicly reaffirm, up to a maximum of two times (provided that, Parent shall be entitled to an additional two such reaffirmations for each Intervening Event or publicly announced change to any material term of a Company Takeover Proposal), the Company Board Recommendation within five (5) business days after Parent so requests in writing (or such fewer number of days as remain prior to the Stockholders Meeting, as it may be adjourned or postponed in accordance with this Agreement), (D) fail to recommend in a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 rejection of a Company Takeover Proposal that is a tender offer or exchange offer subject to Regulation 14D under the Exchange Act (other than by Parent and its affiliates) within ten (10) business days of the commencement of such tender offer or exchange offer (or such fewer number of days as remain prior to the Stockholders Meeting, as it may be adjourned or postponed in accordance with this Agreement) or (E) resolve, publicly announce an intention or agree to take any of the foregoing

actions (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to herein as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (ii) approve or enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, option agreement, merger agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other agreement providing for any Company Takeover Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into in accordance with Section 4.03(a) or Section 4.03(c)), or resolve, agree or publicly propose to take any such action. Notwithstanding anything to contrary in the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, at any time prior to, but not after, the Company Requisite Vote has been obtained (x) the Company Board may, in response to an Intervening Event, take or fail to take any of the actions specified in clauses (A), (C), (D) or (E) of the definition of Adverse Recommendation Change (an “Intervening Event Adverse Recommendation Change”) if the Company Board determines, in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (y) if the Company Board receives a Superior Company Proposal, the Company may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01(f) to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Company Proposal (provided that concurrently with such termination the Company pays any Company Termination Fee to be made pursuant to Section 5.05(b)); provided that, prior to so making an Intervening Event Adverse Recommendation Change or so terminating this Agreement, (1) the Company shall have materially complied with this Section 4.03, (2) the Company Board shall have given Parent at least four business days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action and a description of the reasons for taking such action (which notice, in respect of a Superior Company Proposal, shall specify in writing the identity of the Person or group of Persons who made such Superior Company Proposal and all of the material terms and conditions of such Superior Company Proposal and attach the most current version of the relevant transaction agreement and other material definitive documents (including financing commitments)), (3) the Company shall have negotiated, and shall have caused its Representatives to negotiate in good faith, with Parent during such notice period, to the extent Parent wishes to negotiate, to enable Parent to revise the terms of this Agreement in such a manner that would eliminate the need for taking such action (and in respect of a Superior Company Proposal, would cause such Superior Company Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Company Proposal), (4) following the end of such notice period, the Company Board shall have considered in good faith any revisions to the terms of this Agreement offered in writing by Parent, and shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that failure to effect such Company Intervening Event Adverse Recommendation Change or to terminate this Agreement to accept such Superior Company Proposal would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law and, with respect to a Superior Company Proposal, that such Superior Company Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Company Proposal and (5) in the event of any material change to any of the terms or conditions of such Superior Company Proposal, the Company shall, in each case, deliver to Parent an additional notice consistent with that described in clause (2) of this proviso and a renewed notice period under clause (2) of this proviso shall commence (except that the four-business-day notice period referred to in clause (2) of this proviso shall instead be equal to two business days) during which time the Company shall be required to comply with the requirements of this Section 4.03(d) anew with respect to such additional notice, including clauses (1) through (4) of this proviso.

(e) Nothing contained in this Section 4.03 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company from (i) taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to stockholders), including making any “stop-look-and-listen” communication to the stockholders of the Company, or (ii) making any disclosure to its stockholders if the Company Board determines, in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided that this Section 4.03(e) shall not be deemed to affect whether any such action (other than a recommendation against a Company Takeover Proposal or a “stop-look-and-listen” communication by the Company Board pursuant to Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act) would otherwise constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change.

(f) In addition to the requirements set forth in Section 4.03(c) and Section 4.03(d), from and after the No-Shop Period Start Date, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable and in any event within one business day after receipt thereof, advise Parent orally and in writing of the receipt of (i) any Company Takeover Proposal or any request for information or inquiry, proposal or offer that the Company reasonably believes would lead to or contemplates a Company Takeover Proposal and (ii) the terms and conditions of such Company Takeover Proposal or inquiry, proposal or offer (including any subsequent amendments or modifications thereto and whether made in writing or orally communicated) and the identity of the Person or group of Persons making any such Company Takeover Proposal or request, inquiry, proposal or offer. Commencing upon the provision of any notice referred to above, the Company and its Representatives shall keep Parent informed in reasonable detail on a reasonably prompt basis as to the status and details of any such Company Takeover Proposal or inquiry, proposal or offer (and any subsequent amendments or modifications thereto) and any material developments or modifications to the terms thereof.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 4.03, the Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) any violation of the restrictions or obligations set forth in this Section 4.03 by any Company Subsidiary or their or the Company’s Representatives at the Company’s or the Company Subsidiaries’ direction shall constitute a breach of this Section 4.03 by the Company and (ii) it shall not nor shall it permit the Company Subsidiaries to enter into any agreement that prohibits or restricts the Company from providing to Parent the information contemplated by this Section 4.03 or complying with Section 4.03(d).

SECTION 5.01 Access to Information; Confidentiality. Except if prohibited by applicable Law, the Company shall, and shall cause each of the Company Subsidiaries to, afford to Parent and Parent’s Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours (under the supervision of appropriate personnel and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the normal operation of the business of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries) during the period prior to the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms to all their respective properties, books and records, Contracts and personnel (subject to the chief executive officer’s or general counsel’s consent as set forth in this Section 5.01) and, during such period, the Company shall, and shall cause each Company Subsidiary to, furnish, reasonably promptly, to Parent all information in its possession concerning its business, properties and personnel as Parent may reasonably request; provided that any such access shall be afforded and any such information shall be furnished at Parent’s expense; provided, further, that any such access shall not include any environmental sampling or testing or any invasive or subsurface investigation.

Prior to the Effective Time, other than in the ordinary course of their respective businesses and not in connection with the Transactions, Parent, Merger Sub and their Representatives may only contact and communicate with the personnel, customers, service providers, regulators, vendors and suppliers of the Company and

the Company Subsidiaries related to the Transactions after prior consultation with and the written consent of the chief executive officer or general counsel of the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided that the foregoing shall not prevent or prohibit Parent, Merger Sub and their Representatives from contacting or communicating with their own personnel, customers, service providers, regulators, vendors and suppliers on matters unrelated to the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or the Transactions. All information exchanged pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall be subject to the confidentiality letter agreement dated April 2, 2017 between the Company, New Mountain Capital, L.L.C. and Parent (which agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the Merger Closing) (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Confidentiality Agreement”) and the Company and Parent shall comply with the Confidentiality Agreement.

SECTION 5.02 Reasonable Best Efforts; Notification.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, as promptly as reasonably practicable, the Merger and the other Transactions, including (i) the obtaining of all necessary or advisable actions or non-actions, waivers and consents from, the making of all necessary registrations, declarations and filings with and the taking of all reasonable steps as may be necessary to avoid a Proceeding by any Governmental Entity with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions, (ii) the defending or contesting of any Proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other Governmental Entity vacated or reversed and (iii) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Transactions and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement. In connection with and without limiting the foregoing, the Company and the Company Board shall use reasonable best efforts to (A) take all action necessary to ensure that no Takeover Law or similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable to any Transaction or this Agreement and (B) if any Takeover Law or similar statute or regulation becomes applicable to any Transaction or this Agreement, take all action necessary to ensure that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on the Transactions and this Agreement.

(b) Parent and the Company shall, in consultation and cooperation with the other, (i) file with the United States Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) the Notification and Report Form, if any, required under the HSR Act for the Merger or any of the other Transactions as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than twenty (20) business days after the date of this Agreement), (ii) make all necessary filings as required under the FATA as promptly as practicable, (iii) make all appropriate filings, notices, applications or similar documents required under any Foreign Antitrust Law as promptly as practicable; and (iv) if (A) a filing is formally or informally requested by CFIUS, (B) within 70 days of the date of this Agreement Parent or the Company determines a CFIUS filing is advisable related to the transactions contemplated by this

Agreement or (C) a CFIUS Investigation is commenced for any other reason, then, in each case, the parties hereto shall as soon as practicable submit to CFIUS a draft of a joint voluntary notice of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (the “CFIUS Notice”). Each of Parent and the Company shall (i) furnish to the other party such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other party may request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission which is necessary under the HSR Act, the FATA, the Exon-Florio Amendment, the NISPOM, the ITAR or any Foreign Antitrust Law, (ii) give the other party reasonable prior notice of any such filings or submissions and, to the extent reasonably practicable, of any substantive communication with, and any inquiries or requests for additional information from, the FTC, the DOJ, DDTC, CFIUS, DSS, and any other Governmental Entity regarding the Merger or any of the other Transactions, and permit the other party to review and discuss in advance, and consider in good faith the views of, and secure the participation of, the other party in connection with, any such filings, submissions, substantive communications, substantive inquiries or requests, provided that such materials may be redacted (x) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company or other competitively sensitive information; (y) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements or applicable Law; and (z) as necessary to address reasonable confidentiality concerns, (iii) unless prohibited by applicable Law or by the applicable Governmental Entity, and to the extent reasonably practicable, (A) not participate in or attend any meeting or engage in any substantive conversation with any Governmental Entity in respect of the Merger or any of the other Transactions without the other party, (B) give the other party reasonable prior notice of any such meeting or conversation, (C) in the event one party is prohibited by applicable Law or by the applicable Governmental Entity from participating in or attending any such meeting or engaging in any such conversation, keep such party apprised with respect thereto, (D) cooperate in the filing of any substantive memoranda, white papers, filings, correspondence or other written communications explaining or defending this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other Transactions, articulating any regulatory or competitive argument or responding to requests or objections made by any Governmental Entity and (E) furnish the other party with copies of all filings, submissions, correspondence and communications (and memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) between it and its affiliates and their respective Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Entity or members of any Governmental Entity’s staff, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions, provided that that materials may be redacted (x) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company; (y) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements or applicable Law; and (z) as necessary to address reasonable confidentiality concerns, and (iv) comply with any inquiry or request from the FTC, CFIUS, DSS, DDTC, the DOJ or any other Governmental Entity as promptly as reasonably practicable. Parent agrees not to extend, directly or indirectly, any waiting period under the Antitrust Laws or enter into any agreement with a Governmental Entity to delay or not consummate the Merger or any of the other Transactions, except with the prior written consent of the Company, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld (provided such extension does not go beyond the Outside Date).

(c) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Parent and Merger Sub agree to take promptly any and all steps necessary to avoid, eliminate or resolve each and every impediment and obtain all clearances, consents, approvals and waivers under any Antitrust Laws or the FATA that may be required by any Governmental Entity, CFIUS Approval and DSS Approval, so as to enable the parties to close the Transactions as promptly as practicable (and in any event no later than the Outside Date), including committing to and effecting, by consent

decree, hold separate orders, trust or otherwise, (i) the sale, license, holding separate, divestiture or other disposition of assets or businesses of Parent or the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries, (ii) terminating, relinquishing, modifying or waiving existing relationships, ventures, contractual rights, obligations or other arrangements of Parent or Company or their respective subsidiaries, (iii) creating any relationships, ventures, contractual rights, obligations or other arrangements of Parent or the Company or their respective subsidiaries, and (iv) accepting all such requirements, mitigation measures, or conditions as may be requested or required by CFIUS, DSS or any other Governmental Entity as necessary or advisable in connection with, or as a condition of, the receipt of CFIUS Approval or DSS Approval (each a “Remedial Action”); provided that the Company shall not be obligated to agree to, commit or effect, any Remedial Action unless such Remedial Action is conditioned upon, or will occur subsequent to, consummation of the Transactions. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, in the event that any litigation or other administrative or judicial action or proceeding is commenced, threatened or is foreseeable challenging any of the Transactions and such litigation, action or proceeding seeks, or would reasonably be expected to seek, to prevent, materially impede or materially delay the consummation of the Transactions, Parent shall take any and all action, including a Remedial Action, to avoid or resolve any such litigation, action or proceeding and each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall cooperate with each other and use its respective reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such litigation, action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Transactions as promptly as practicable (and in any event no later than the Outside Date). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, including the prior two sentences of this Section 5.02(c), nothing in this Section 5.02(c) or otherwise shall require or obligate Parent and Merger Sub or any of their affiliates to take any Remedial Action with respect to Parent, Merger Sub, or the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates, including any of the Remedial Actions described in clauses (i) through (iv) of the first sentence in this Section 5.02(c), if any such Remedial Action individually or in the aggregate has had or would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, assets, liabilities, businesses or results of operations of Parent, the Company, and their respective subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(d) Neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall, nor shall they permit their respective subsidiaries or affiliates to, acquire or agree to acquire any rights, assets, business, Person or division thereof (through acquisition, license, joint venture, collaboration or otherwise), if such acquisition would reasonably be expected to materially increase the risk of not obtaining (i) any applicable clearance, consent, approval or waiver under any U.S. Antitrust Law, the FATA or any Foreign Antitrust Law or (ii) CFIUS Approval or DSS Approval with respect to the Transactions.

(e) As soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, Parent and the Company will submit to DSS and, to the extent applicable, any other Governmental Entity, notification of the Transactions pursuant to the NISPOM and any other applicable national security or industrial security regulations, and submit and request approval of measures to mitigate foreign ownership, control or influence (“FOCI”) arising as a result of the Merger and the other transactions. Each of Parent and the Company shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to finally and successfully obtain CFIUS Approval and DSS Approval as promptly as practicable.

(f) As soon as possible after the execution of this Agreement, but in no event later than twenty (20) business days thereafter, Parent shall prepare and file with DDTC a notice of the Transactions as required under the ITAR, 22 CFR 122.4(b). Each of Parent and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to respond promptly to any inquiries received from DDTC for additional information or documentation, and to respond promptly to all inquiries and requests from DDTC in connection with such notice.

(g) Each of Parent and the Company shall provide CFIUS, DSS or DDTC with any additional or supplemental information requested by CFIUS, DSS or DDTC during their respective review process as promptly as practicable, and in all cases within the amount of time allowed by CFIUS, DSS or DDTC.

SECTION 5.03 Employee Matters.

(a) From and after the Closing Date and for a period of one year following the Effective Time (the “Continuation Period”), Parent shall provide or cause the Surviving Corporation to provide to each individual who is employed by the Company or any Company Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time and who continues employment with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Company Subsidiary (each, a “Company Employee”) (i) salary and incentive opportunities that, in each case, are no less favorable in the aggregate (excluding any value attributable to equity-based compensation) than those provided to such Company Employee by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing Date and (ii) employee benefits (excluding defined benefit pension plan benefits) that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided to such Company Employee by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing Date. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during the Continuation Period, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, provide any Company Employee who experiences a termination of employment under circumstances that would have entitled such Company Employee to severance benefits under any Company Benefit Plan or Company Benefit Agreement applicable to such Company Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date with severance benefits at a level at least equal to the severance benefits payable under such Company Benefit Plan or Company Benefit Agreement.

(b) Following the Continuation Period, to the extent that any of the existing Company Benefit Plans are discontinued, each Company Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all plans maintained by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or their respective affiliates (the “Surviving Corporation Plans”) to the extent coverage under any such plan is necessary to replace coverage under the discontinued Company Benefit Plan in which such Company Employee participates immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c) Without limiting the generality of Section 5.03(a), from and after the Closing Date, Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to assume, honor and continue during the Continuation Period or, if later, until all obligations thereunder have been

satisfied, all of the Company’s employment, severance, retention, termination and change in control plans, policies, programs, agreements and arrangements (including any change in control severance agreement or other Company Benefit Agreement between the Company and any Company Employee) maintained by the Company or any Company Subsidiaries, in each case, as in effect on the Closing Date, including with respect to any payments, benefits or rights arising as a result of the Transactions (either alone or in combination with any other event) in accordance with their terms.

(d) With respect to all Surviving Corporation Plans, including any “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, maintained by Parent or any of its respective subsidiaries (including any vacation, paid time-off and severance plans), for all purposes, including determining eligibility to participate, level of benefits, vesting, benefit accruals and early retirement subsidies, each Company Employee’s service with the Company or any Company Subsidiaries (as well as service with any predecessor employer of the Company or any such Company Subsidiary, to the extent service with the predecessor employer was recognized by the Company or such Company Subsidiary) shall be treated as service with Parent or any of their respective subsidiaries; provided that such service need not be recognized (i) to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits for the same period of service or (ii) with respect to any benefit accrual under a defined benefit pension plan.

(e) With respect to any welfare plan maintained by Parent or any of its subsidiaries in which any Company Employee is eligible to participate after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, (i) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions and exclusions and waiting periods and actively-at-work requirements with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such employees and their eligible dependents and beneficiaries, to the extent such limitations were waived, satisfied or did not apply to such employees or eligible dependents or beneficiaries under the corresponding welfare Company Benefit Plan in which such employees participated immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) provide Company Employees and their eligible dependents and beneficiaries with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid prior to the Effective Time in satisfying any analogous deductible or out-of-pocket maximum requirements to the extent applicable under any such plan, in each case, except to the extent it would result in any duplication of benefits.

(f) The provisions of this Section 5.03 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no Company Employee or any other Person (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Section 5.03, and no provision of this Section 5.03 shall create such rights in any such Persons in respect of any benefits that may be provided, directly or indirectly, under any Company Benefit Plan or Company Benefit Agreement or any employee program or any plan or arrangement of Parent or any of its subsidiaries shall be construed to modify, amend, or establish any benefit plan, program or arrangement or in any way affect the ability of the parties hereto or any other Person to modify, amend or terminate any of its benefit plans, programs or arrangements.

SECTION 5.04 Indemnification.

(a) All rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (and rights to advancement of expenses) now existing in favor of any Person who is or prior to the Effective Time becomes, or has been at any time prior to the date of this Agreement, a director, officer, employee or agent (including as a fiduciary with respect to an employee benefit plan) of the Company, any of the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective predecessors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) as provided in the Company Charter, the Company By-laws, the organizational documents of any Company Subsidiary or any indemnification agreement listed on Section 5.04(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter between such Indemnified Party and the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries that is in effect as of the date of this Agreement (i) shall be assumed by the Surviving Corporation in the Merger, without further action, at the Effective Time, (ii) shall survive the Merger, (iii) shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms with respect to any claims against any such Indemnified Party arising out of such acts or omissions and (iv) for a period of six years following the date of this Agreement shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect any right thereunder of any such Indemnified Party. Parent shall ensure that the Surviving Corporation complies with and honors the foregoing obligations.

(b) Without limiting Section 5.04(a) or any rights of any Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification agreement listed on Section 5.04(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, from and after the Effective Time, in the event of any threatened or actual Proceeding, whether civil, criminal or administrative, based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to the fact that at or prior to the Effective Time the Indemnified Party is or was a director, officer, employee or agent (including as a fiduciary with respect to an employee benefit plan) of the Company, any of the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective predecessors, whether in any case asserted or claimed before or after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless, as and to the fullest extent provided in the Company Charter and Company By-laws (or the corresponding organizational documents of the applicable Company Subsidiary; provided that if such documents provide for a lesser degree of indemnification than as is provided in the Company Charter and Company By-laws, such Indemnified Party shall be indemnified and held harmless as and to the fullest extent provided in the Company Charter and Company By-laws as if they instead applied), each such Indemnified Party against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any Proceeding to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law upon receipt of any undertaking required by the Company Charter and Company By-laws (or the corresponding organizational documents of the applicable Company Subsidiary; provided that if such documents require a greater undertaking than the Company Charter and Company By-laws, what is required by the Company Charter and Company By-laws shall instead apply), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement of or in connection with any such threatened or actual Proceeding). Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cooperate with each Indemnified Party in the defense of any matter for which such Indemnified Party could seek indemnification hereunder. Parent’s and the Surviving Corporation’s obligations under this Section 5.04(b) shall continue in full force and effect for the period beginning upon the Effective Time until six years from the Effective Time; provided that all rights to indemnification in respect of any Proceeding asserted or made within such period shall continue until the final disposition of such Proceeding.

(c) At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain and fully pay the premium for “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including for acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions) for the period beginning upon the Effective Time and ending six years from the Effective Time, covering each Indemnified Party and containing terms (including with respect to coverage and amounts) and conditions (including with respect to deductibles and exclusions) that are, individually and in the aggregate, no less favorable to any Indemnified Party than those of the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies in effect on the date of this Agreement (the “Existing D&O Policies”); provided that the maximum aggregate annual premium for such “tail” insurance policies shall not exceed 300% of the aggregate annual premium payable by the Company for coverage for its current fiscal year under the Existing D&O Policies (which amount the Company represents and warrants is set forth in Section 5.04(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter) (the “Maximum D&O Tail Premium”). If such “tail” insurance policies have been obtained by the Company, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such “tail” insurance policies to be maintained in full force and effect, for their full term, and use reasonable best efforts to cause all its obligations thereunder to be honored by it and the Surviving Corporation. In the event the Company does not obtain such “tail” insurance policies, then, for the period beginning upon the Effective Time and ending six years from the Effective Time, Parent shall maintain in effect the Existing D&O Policies in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including for acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions); provided that neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be required to pay an aggregate annual premium for such insurance policies in excess of the Maximum D&O Tail Premium; provided further that if the annual premium of such insurance coverage exceeds the Maximum D&O Tail Premium, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain the most advantageous policies available for an annual premium equal to such amount.

(d) In the event that (i) Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (A) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (B) transfers or conveys all or a substantial portion of its properties and other assets to any Person or (ii) Parent or any of its successors or assigns dissolves the Surviving Corporation, then, and in each such case, Parent shall cause proper provision to be made so that the applicable successors and assigns or transferees assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.04.

(e) Prior to the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date, the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 5.04 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party to whom this Section 5.04 applies without the consent of such affected Indemnified Party. The provisions of this Section 5.04 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party, his or her heirs and his or her Representatives, and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to which each Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise.

SECTION 5.05 Fees and Expenses.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 5.01, Section 5.04, this Section 5.05, Section 5.07, Section 5.15, Section 5.16(a) and Section 5.16(b), all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated.

(b) The Company shall pay to Parent or its designee a fee of $85,000,000 (if this Agreement is terminated prior to the Go-Shop Period End Date or, if after the Go-Shop Period End Date, in connection with a Company Takeover Proposal from an Excluded Party)) or, otherwise, $170,000,000 (the “Company Termination Fee”), in each case, if:

(i) the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01(f));

(ii) Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01(d); or

(iii) (A) after the date of this Agreement, a Company Takeover Proposal is publicly proposed or announced or made known to the Company Board, (B) thereafter this Agreement is terminated by either Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(i) or Section 7.01(h) or by Parent pursuant to Section 7.01(c) and (C) concurrently with or within twelve (12) months after such termination the Company enters into a definitive agreement to consummate, or consummates, a Company Takeover Proposal (regardless of whether a Company Takeover Proposal relates to the same Company Takeover Proposal referred to in clause (A)).

For purposes of this Section 5.05(b), the term “Company Takeover Proposal” shall have the meaning set forth in the definition of Company Takeover Proposal contained in Section 4.03(h) except that all references to 20% shall be deemed to be references to 50%. Any fee due under this Section 5.05(b) shall be paid by wire transfer of same-day funds to an account designated by Parent, (1) in the case of clause (i) above, prior to or simultaneously with such termination of this Agreement, (2) in the case of clause (ii) above, within two business days after the date of such termination of this Agreement and (3) in the case of clause (iii) above, within two business days of the consummation of such Company Takeover Proposal. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion, whether or not the Company Termination Fee may be payable under more than one provision of this Agreement at the same or at different times or for the occurrence of different events, and, in such event, the lowest Company Termination Fee shall be the amount payable.

(c) Acceptance by Parent of the fee due under Section 5.05(b)(i) shall constitute acceptance by Parent of the validity of any termination of this Agreement under Section 7.01(f) (but not the amount of the Company Termination Fee). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event the Company Termination Fee described in this Section 5.05 is paid to Parent or its designee, such Company Termination Fee shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and Merger Sub against the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and their respective current, former or future Representatives for any loss suffered as a result of the failure of the Transactions to be consummated, and upon payment of the Company Termination Fee none of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective current, former or future Representatives shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions, other than for Willful Breach to the extent set forth in the next sentence.

(d) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(ii), Section 7.01(e) or 7.01(g) or by Parent pursuant to Section 7.01(b)(ii) or Section 7.01(b)(i) if the Company had the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01(e) or 7.01(g) at such time, then the Company or its designee shall be entitled to receive and Parent shall pay to the Company, within two (2) business days following the date of such termination, an amount equal to $300,000,000 (the “Parent Termination Fee”). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event the Parent Termination Fee described in this Section 5.15 is paid to the Company, such Parent Termination Fee shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company against the Third Party Financing Related Parties for any loss suffered as a result of the failure of the Transactions to be consummated, and upon payment of the Parent Termination Fee none of the Third Party Financing Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions. Any Parent Termination Fee due under this Section 5.05(d) shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that in no event shall Parent be required to pay the Parent Termination Fee on more than one occasion, whether or not the Parent Termination Fee may be payable under more than one provision of this Agreement at the same or at different times or for the occurrence of different events. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the Parent Termination Fee shall not constitute a penalty but instead is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Company in the circumstances in which it is payable 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 by this Agreement, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

(e) While each of the Company and Parent may pursue both a grant of specific performance in accordance with Section 8.10 and the payment of the Parent Termination Fee or the Company Termination Fee, as applicable, under no circumstances shall the Company or Parent be permitted or entitled to receive both (i) a grant of specific performance that results in the Merger Closing occurring and (ii) any money damages (including the Parent Termination Fee or the Company Termination Fee, as applicable).

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Parent or Merger Sub breaches this Agreement (whether such breach is intentional and material, unintentional, willful or otherwise or is a Willful Breach) or fails to perform hereunder (whether such failure is intentional and material, unintentional, willful or otherwise or is a Willful Breach), the Company’s right to: (i) seek an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief in accordance with the terms and limitations of Section 8.10; or (ii) terminate this Agreement and (A) receive the Parent Termination Fee if payable pursuant to Section 5.05(d) and (B) if the Parent Termination Fee is not payable pursuant to Section 5.05(d), seek money damages from Parent in the event of Parent’s or Merger Sub’s Willful Breach, shall be the sole and exclusive remedies (whether such remedies are sought in equity or at law, in contract, in tort or otherwise) of the Company and the Company Related Parties against the Parent Related Parties or the Third Party Financing Related Parties for any losses, damages, costs, expenses,

obligations or liabilities arising out of or related to this Agreement (or any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation contained herein), the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (or any failure of such transactions to be consummated), the Commitment Letters, the financings contemplated therein (or any failure of such financings to be consummated), or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection with this Agreement, the Commitment Letters, the transactions contemplated herein or therein or otherwise; provided that in no event shall Parent have any monetary liability or obligations pursuant to the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) in the aggregate in excess of the amount of the Parent Termination Fee and in no event shall the Company or any Company Related Party seek, directly or indirectly, to recover against any Parent Related Parties (other than Parent under the Confidentiality Agreement, to the extent set forth in and in accordance with the terms thereof) or Third Party Financing Related Parties, or compel payment by any Third Party Financing Related Parties (other than Parent under the Confidentiality Agreement, to the extent set forth in and in accordance with the terms thereof) or Parent Related Parties of, any damages or other payments whatsoever and in no event shall the Company or any Company Related Party seek, directly or indirectly, to recover against Parent and Merger Sub, or compel payment by Parent and Merger Sub of, any damages or other payments in excess of the amount of the Parent Termination Fee.

(g) The Company agrees, on behalf of itself and its Non-Recourse Parties, and Parent and Merger Sub each agree, on behalf of itself and their respective Non-Recourse Parties, that all actions, claims, obligations, liabilities or causes of action (whether such remedies are sought in equity or at law, in contract, in tort or otherwise) arising out of or related to this Agreement (or any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation contained herein), the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (or any failure of such transactions to be consummated), the Commitment Letters and the financings contemplated therein (or any failure of such financings to be consummated), or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection with this Agreement, the Commitment Letters or otherwise, in each case, may be made only against the Persons that are expressly identified as the parties to this Agreement and, in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, except for claims that the Company or Parent may bring under, and pursuant to the terms and conditions of, the Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company hereby waives any and all claims against any and all Third Party Financing Related Parties arising out of this Agreement, the Merger, the Financing or any other Transaction.

SECTION 5.06 Public Announcements. Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall consult with each other before issuing, and provide each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statements with respect to the Merger and the other Transactions, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as may be required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national or foreign securities exchange and except as contemplated, permitted or required by Section 4.03. The parties hereto agree that the initial press release to be issued with respect to the Transactions shall be in the form heretofore agreed to by the parties hereto.

SECTION 5.07 Transfer Taxes. Except as provided in Section 1.08(b) of this Agreement, all stock transfer, real estate transfer, documentary, stamp, recording and other similar Taxes (including interest, penalties and additions to any such Taxes) (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with the Transactions and imposed on the Company or any Company Subsidiary shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation and the Company shall cooperate with Merger Sub and Parent in preparing, executing and filing any Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes.

SECTION 5.08 Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or under any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. If the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent determines to withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the recipient of such withholding at least five (5) business days prior to the date upon which such payment is to be made to provide such recipient with a reasonable opportunity to provide any form or documentation or take such other steps as may be required in order to eliminate or minimize any such withholding. Amounts withheld pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction or withholding was made.

SECTION 5.09 Stockholder Litigation. Until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VII, the Company shall provide Parent an opportunity to participate in the defense, settlement and prosecution of any stockholder litigation against the Company or its directors relating to any Transaction (the “Transaction Litigation”) and consult with Parent with respect to the defense, settlement and prosecution of any such stockholder litigation, including the opportunity to review and to propose comments to all material filings or responses to be made by the Company in connection with any such stockholder litigation and the Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments proposed by Parent. In no event shall the Company enter into, agree to or disclose any settlement with respect to such stockholder litigation without Parent’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, except to the extent such settlement is fully covered by the Company’s insurance policies (other than any applicable deductible), but only if such settlement would not result in the imposition of any material restriction on the business or operations of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or affiliates. Each of Parent and the Company shall notify the other promptly of the commencement of any such stockholder litigation of which it has received notice and prior to the Effective Time, each of (x) the Company and (y) Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly notify the other of all (i) notices and other communications received by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries or Parent or any of its subsidiaries from any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, if the subject matter of such communication or the failure of such party to obtain such consent could be material to the Company, the Company Subsidiaries, Parent or Merger Sub and (ii) civil, criminal or

administrative actions, suits, claims, hearings, arbitrations, investigations or other proceedings commenced or threatened against the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or the Company Board, or any committee thereof, or Parent or any of its subsidiaries, in each case in connection with, arising from or otherwise relating to the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 5.09 and Section 1.07(d), “participate” means that Parent will be kept reasonably apprised of proposed strategy and other significant decisions with respect to the Transaction Litigation by the Company (to the extent that the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel is not undermined or otherwise affected), and Parent may offer comments or suggestions with respect to such Transaction Litigation which the Company shall consider in good faith, but Parent will not be afforded any decision making power or other authority over such Transaction Litigation; provided, that no settlement shall be offered or entered into or payment made without the consent of Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, any litigation relating to Appraisal Shares shall be governed by Section 1.07(d).

SECTION 5.10 Works Councils.

SECTION 5.15 Parent Financing.

(a) Parent and Merger Sub shall, and shall cause their subsidiaries to, use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the Financing on the terms and subject only to the conditions described in the Commitment Letters, including using their reasonable best efforts to (i) promptly negotiate definitive agreements on the terms (including any market flex and securities demand provisions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter) and subject only to the conditions contained in the Commitment Letters so that such agreements are in effect on the Closing Date, (ii) promptly satisfy (or obtain a waiver to) or cause the satisfaction (or waiver) of all conditions in the Commitment Letters and the definitive agreements for the Financing (the “Financing Agreements”) applicable to, and within the control of, Parent or Merger Sub or any of their affiliates in such documents, (iii) consummate the Financing on or prior to the date on which the consummation of the Merger Closing is required to occur, (iv) enforce their rights under the Commitment Letters and (v) comply with and maintain in full force and effect the Commitment Letters.

(b) In the event that, notwithstanding the use of reasonable best efforts by Parent to satisfy its obligations under this Section 5.15, any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and subject only to the conditions (including any market flex and securities demand provisions) contemplated in the Commitment Letters (unless such portion is not reasonably required to consummate the Transactions and to pay the Required Amount on the Closing Date), Parent shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries to, promptly (and in any event, within one business day) notify the Company thereof, and the reason for the unavailability, and use their reasonable best efforts to obtain, as promptly as practicable, alternative financing in an amount sufficient to pay the Required Amount as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event; provided that, without the prior written consent of the Company, such alternative financing shall not have any of the effects described in clauses (1) through (5) of Section 5.15(c)(i). Parent shall deliver to the Company true and complete copies of all agreements pursuant to which any such alternative source shall have committed to provide Parent with any portion of the Financing substantially concurrently with the execution thereof. The provisions of this Section 5.15 shall apply to any alternative financing mutatis mutandis. For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to arrange for any such alternative financing does not relieve Parent or Merger Sub of any of their obligations under this Agreement.

(c) Parent shall have the right from time to time to amend, replace, supplement or otherwise modify, or waive any of its rights under, the Commitment Letters or definitive agreements relating to the Financing; provided that: (i) without the prior written consent of the Company, no such amendment, replacement, supplement, modification or waiver shall (1) reduce (or have the effect of reducing) the aggregate amount of the Financing (including by increasing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount in respect of the Financing) to less than the Required Amount (after giving effect to Parent’s available cash on hand), (2) add new conditions precedent or contingencies to the Financing or amend, replace, supplement or modify any existing conditions precedent or contingencies to the Financing in a manner adverse to Parent (or its affiliates) or that would reasonably be expected to prevent, impede or delay or make less likely to occur the funding of the Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions or contingencies to the Financing) on the Closing Date, (3) delay the funding of the Financing or reasonably be expected to prevent, impede or delay the availability of the Financing on the date upon which the Merger Closing is required to occur pursuant to Section 1.02, (4) waive any remedy available to Parent thereunder or adversely impact the ability of Parent to enforce or

cause the enforcement of its rights under the Commitment Letters or the definitive agreements relating to the Financing, (5) impose obligations on the Company or its affiliates that would be effective prior to the Effective Time or (6) allow for the early termination of the Commitment Letters; and (ii) it is understood and agreed that Parent may amend the Commitment Letters to the extent permitted therein to add lenders, arrangers, bookrunners, agents, managers, purchasers or similar entities that have not executed the relevant Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement. Parent acknowledges and agrees that the certificate to be delivered by an authorized officer of the Company under paragraph 10 of Exhibit D of the Debt Commitment Letter or paragraph 9 of Exhibit D of the Preferred Equity Commitment Letter, in each case, with respect to the solvency of the Company may be delivered by an individual who is an authorized officer of the Company as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) To the extent Parent obtains alternative financing pursuant to Section 5.15(b), or amends, replaces, supplements, modifies or waives any of the Financing pursuant to Section 5.15(c), references to the “Financing,” “Debt Financing,” “Commitment Letter,” “Debt Commitment Letter,” “Preferred Equity Commitment Letter,” and “Financing Agreement” (and other like terms in this Agreement) shall be deemed to refer to such alternative financing, the commitments thereunder and the agreements with respect thereto, or the Financing as so amended, replaced, supplemented, modified or waived.

(e) Parent shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a reasonably timely basis and in reasonable detail of the status of Parent’s efforts to arrange and obtain the Financing. Parent and Merger Sub shall provide the Company, upon reasonable request, with copies of agreements relating to the Financing and such other information and documentation regarding such Financing as shall be reasonably necessary or proper to allow the Company to monitor the progress of such financing activities. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent shall notify the Company promptly (and in any event within one business day) if at any time prior to the Closing Date: (i) the Commitment Letters or Financing Agreements expire or are terminated for any reason, (ii) Parent obtains knowledge of any material breach or default by any party to any Commitment Letter or Financing Agreement (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could reasonably be expected to give rise to any material breach or default), (iii) Parent receives any written notice or other communication from any Person providing a Commitment Letter or any Financing Agreement with respect to any (1) actual, potential or threatened breach, default, withdrawal, rescission, termination or repudiation (whether in whole or in part) by any party to the Commitment Letters or any Financing Agreement or (2) a dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to the Commitment Letters or any Financing Agreement with respect to the obligation to fund the Financings or the amount of the Financings to be funded upon the consummation of the Merger Closing or (iv) any other event or development occurs that Parent expects to have a material and adverse impact on the ability of Parent to obtain all or any material portion of the Financings contemplated by the Commitment Letters or any Financing Agreement on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Commitment Letters or the Financing Agreements or if Parent, for any reason, otherwise no longer believes in good faith that it will be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing on the terms described in the Commitment Letters or any Financing Agreement. As soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within one business day after the date the Company delivers to Parent a written request therefor), Parent shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to any circumstance

referred to in clause (i) through (iv) of the immediately preceding sentence. Parent shall furnish the Company drafts (when available) and thereafter true and complete and executed copies of the Financing Agreements promptly upon their execution.

(f) The Company shall (i) provide the financial information related to the Company and its subsidiaries necessary to satisfy the conditions set forth in paragraph 5 of Exhibit D to each of the Preferred Equity Commitment Letter and the Debt Commitment Letter and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to provide, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries and their respective representatives to use their reasonable best efforts to provide all customary and reasonable cooperation in connection with the arrangement, obtaining and syndication of the Financing and the satisfaction of the conditions of the Commitment Letters to be satisfied as may be reasonably requested by Parent; including, in each case to the extent reasonable and customary for a financing of the type contemplated by the applicable Commitment Letters to use reasonable best efforts to:

The phrase “date of this Agreement” shall be deemed to refer to May 4, 2017. All references to “dollars” or “$” shall refer to the lawful currency of the United States. Unless the context requires otherwise (i) any definition of or reference to any Contract, instrument or other document or any Law herein shall be construed as referring to such Contract, instrument or other document or Law as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, (ii) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns, (iii) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof and (iv) all references herein to Articles, Sections and Exhibits shall be construed to refer to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits to, this Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as jointly drafted by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.05 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. 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 an acceptable manner to the end that the Transactions are fulfilled to the extent possible.

SECTION 8.06 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic image scan transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.07 Entire Agreement; Third-Party Beneficiaries; No Other Representations or Warranties.

(a) This Agreement, the Voting Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement (i) constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties and their affiliates, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, the Voting Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement and (ii) except for Section 5.04 and for the rights of the Third Party Financing Related Parties pursuant to Sections 5.05(d), 7.03(a), 8.10(c), 8.11 and 8.13 and this Section 8.07, are not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties any rights or remedies. Notwithstanding clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, following the Effective Time the provisions of Article I shall be enforceable by holders of Certificates and holders of Book-Entry Shares

(b) Except for the representations and warranties contained in Article II or in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(c), each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges that neither the Company nor any Person on behalf of the Company makes any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or with respect to any other information made available to Parent or Merger Sub in connection with the Transactions. In connection with the due diligence investigation of the Company by Parent and Merger Sub, Parent and Merger Sub have received and may continue to receive from the Company certain estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking information, as well as certain business plans and cost-related plan information, regarding the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and their respective businesses and operations. Parent and Merger Sub hereby acknowledge that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking information, with which Parent and Merger Sub are familiar, that Parent and Merger Sub are making their own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking information, as well as such business plans and cost-related plans, furnished to them (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts, forward-looking information, business plans or cost-related plans), and that neither Parent nor Merger Sub has relied upon the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, or any of their respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents or representatives, or any other Person, with respect thereto. Accordingly, each of Parent and Merger Sub hereby acknowledge that neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents or representatives, nor any other Person, has made or is making any

representation or warranty or has or shall have any liability (whether pursuant to this Agreement, in tort or otherwise) with respect to such estimates, projections, forecasts, forward-looking information, business plans or cost-related plans (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts, forward-looking information, business plans or cost-related plans), except as expressly set forth in Article II of this Agreement or in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(c).

(c) Except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in Article III, the Voting Agreement, the Commitment Letters and in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.03(c), none of Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub makes any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to Parent or Merger Sub or in any certificate or other document delivered in connection with this Agreement.

SECTION 8.08 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

SECTION 8.09 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided that Merger Sub may assign, in its sole discretion, any of or all its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to Parent or to any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, but no such assignment shall relieve Merger Sub of any of its obligations under this Agreement; provided further that any such assignment shall not otherwise impede or delay the consummation of the Transactions or otherwise impede the rights of the stockholders of the Company under this Agreement. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8.09, Parent and Merger Sub may pledge their rights hereunder as security to the Lenders or any of their financing sources (or any agent or collateral trustee for any such person); provided that no such assignment shall relieve Parent of any of its obligations hereunder.

SECTION 8.10 Specific Enforcement; Jurisdiction.

(a) The parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, or any other appropriate form of equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court referred to in Section 8.10(c), without proof of damages or otherwise (and each party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The right to specific enforcement shall include the right of the Company to cause Parent and Merger Sub to cause the Merger and the other Transactions to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this

Agreement. The parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Transactions and without such right none of the parties would have entered into this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including Section 8.10(a), it is explicitly agreed that the Company shall have the right to seek an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedies in connection with enforcing Parent and Merger Sub’s obligations to effect the Merger Closing, if and only if: (i) the Marketing Period has ended and Parent is required to complete the Merger Closing pursuant to Section 1.02 and Parent fails to complete the Merger Closing by the date the Merger Closing is required to have occurred pursuant to Section 1.02, (ii) the financing provided for by the Financing (or, if alternative financing, as the case may be) has been funded or will be funded in accordance with the terms of the Commitment Letter at the Merger Closing and (iii) the Company has irrevocably confirmed in writing that, if specific performance is granted and the Financing is funded, then the Merger Closing will occur in accordance with Article I.

(c) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the State of Delaware for the purpose of any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the actions of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement thereof, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims with respect to such Proceeding may be heard and determined exclusively in any Delaware state or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto (i) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery, any other court of the State of Delaware and any Federal court sitting in the State of Delaware in the event any Proceeding arises out of this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other Transactions, (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, (iii) irrevocably consents to the service of process in any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other Transactions, on behalf of itself or its property, by U.S. registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth in Section 8.02 (provided that nothing in this Section 8.10(c) shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law) and (iv) agrees that it will not bring any Proceeding relating to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other Transactions in any court other than the Delaware Court of Chancery (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery shall be unavailable, any other court of the State of Delaware or any Federal court sitting in the State of Delaware). The parties hereto agree that a final trial court judgment in any such Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law; provided that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict any party’s rights to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, such final trial court judgment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto acknowledges and irrevocably agrees: (i) that any Proceeding, whether at law or in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, involving the Third Party Financing Related Parties arising out of, or relating to this Agreement, the Financing or the performance of services thereunder or related thereto will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State of New York in the Borough of Manhattan and any appellate court thereof, and each of the

parties submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court with respect to any such legal proceeding; (ii) not to bring or permit any of their affiliates to bring or support anyone else in bringing any such Proceeding in any other court; (iii) that service of process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to them at their respective addresses provided in the Commitment Letter or in Section 8.02 will be effective service of process against them for any such Proceeding brought in any such court; (iv) to waive and hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection which any of them may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of, and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of, any such Proceeding in any such court; (v) that any such Proceeding will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. and (vi) to waive and hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any such Proceeding

SECTION 8.11 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 respect of any Proceeding arising out of this Agreement, the Merger or any other Transaction. Each party hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such party would not, in the event of any Proceeding, 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 waiver and certifications in this Section 8.11.

SECTION 8.12 Remedies. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the rights and remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by applicable Law, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

SECTION 8.13 No Recourse. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or otherwise, the parties to this Agreement agree on their own behalf and on behalf of their respective subsidiaries and affiliates that no Non-Recourse Party or any Third Party Financing Related Party shall have any liability relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions except to the extent expressly agreed to in writing by such Non-Recourse Party or such Third Party Financing Related Party (as applicable).

SECTION 8.14 Cooperation. The parties agree to provide reasonable cooperation with each other and to execute and deliver such further documents, certificates, agreements and instruments and to take such actions as may be reasonably requested by the other parties to evidence or effect the Transactions and to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.
