WHEREAS, as of the date of this Agreement, the Company and AREX Parties have determined to come to an agreement with respect to certain matters set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
1.Board Nominations.
i. As promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement (but in no event later than five (5) days following the date of this Agreement), the Nominating and Governance Committee (the “Nominating Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company and the Board shall take all necessary actions to:   
a.promptly increase the size of the Board’s membership by two (2) director seats and appoint Ronald Garriques and Edward Terino (the “New Directors”) each to serve as a director of the Board until such New Director’s successor is duly elected or appointed in accordance with the Company’s Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) and applicable law;
b.include each New Director (or any Replacement (as defined below)) on the slate of nominees recommended by the Board in the Company’s proxy statement and on its proxy card relating to the Company’s 2020 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2020 Annual Meeting”) and any special meeting of stockholders that occurs during the Standstill Period (as defined below); and
At the 2020 Annual Meeting and any special meeting of stockholders that occurs during the Standstill Period, the Company agrees to recommend, support and solicit proxies for the election of the New Directors and their Replacements in the same historic manner in which the Company 










has supported its nominees for election at prior annual meetings of stockholders at which the election of directors was uncontested.  
i. No later than (i) May 1, 2020 or (ii) the earlier first meeting of the applicable Board committee after the date of this Agreement, the Nominating Committee and the Board shall take all necessary action to appoint one or both of the New Directors (or any Replacement) to each of the three standing committees of the Board: the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating Committee such that the New Directors and their Replacements, if any, shall constitute at least one-fourth of the members of each such committee during the Standstill Period.   
ii. The AREX Parties acknowledge that the policies and procedures in effect as of April 15, 2020 or adopted by the Board after the New Directors have been seated as directors, and applicable to all other directors (the “Company Policies”) will be applicable to the New Directors during their term(s) of service.
iii. During the Standstill Period, neither the Board nor any committee of the Board shall modify the size of the Board from seven directors without the unanimous approval of the Board. 
iv. The Board and all applicable committees of the Board shall take all necessary actions to ensure that during the Standstill Period, the New Directors and their Replacements shall constitute at least one-fourth of the members of any non-standing committee in place as of the date of this Agreement and any new committee of the Board that may be established after the date hereof; and, without limiting the foregoing, the Board shall give each of the New Directors and their Replacements the same due consideration for membership to any non-standing or new committee of the Board as any other non-management director.  
v. During the Standstill Period, the Company shall not amend its organizational documents, adopt any new Company Policies, amend any existing Company Policies or take any other similar action to frustrate the purpose of this Agreement. 
vi. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to abridge or limit the fiduciary duties of any member of the Board under Delaware law.
vii. If, from the date of appointment until the Termination Date (as defined below), Mr. Garriques (or a Replacement) is unable or unwilling to serve as a director for any reason, resigns as a director or is removed as a director, then (A) the AREX Parties shall have the right to propose three persons as candidates (each an “AREX Candidate”) to be a replacement director (a “Replacement”) to fill the resulting vacancy and each AREX Candidate shall be a person with relevant financial and business experience, (i) who qualifies as “Independent” pursuant to applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)  and as an “Independent Director” as defined in The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) Listing Rule 5605 (or applicable requirements of such other national securities exchange designated as the primary market on which the Common Stock is listed for trading), (ii) who has provided to the Company all information regarding the Replacement that is required to be included in a proxy 
2






statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the SEC, (iii) who has completed an interview with the Nominating Committee, (iv) who has consented to appropriate background checks similar to those historically performed for all other directors of the Board, (v) who has executed all documents required to be executed by all other directors of the Company  and who has the relevant financial and business experience to be a director of the Company, and such AREX Candidates shall be subject to the approval by each of the Nominating Committee and the Board, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and (B) the Board shall select and appoint one (1) of the AREX Candidates to the Board as the Replacement to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Garriques (or a Replacement) ceasing to be a director.  Any Replacement appointed to the Board in accordance with this Section 1(g) shall be appointed to any applicable committees of the Board of which the replaced former director was a member immediately prior to such director’s resignation or removal. 
2.Standstill.
i. The AREX Parties agree that, from the date of this Agreement until the Termination Date (the “Standstill Period”), the AREX Parties shall not, and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates or Associates (as such terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) (such Affiliates and Associates collectively, the “AREX Affiliates”, and each an “AREX Affiliate”) and each of the AREX Affiliates’ respective directors, officers, managers and employees not to, and will direct its and their respective consultants, agents, representatives, attorneys and advisors (to the extent acting on its or their behalf) not to, directly or indirectly, in any manner, alone or in concert with others:

5






l.request, directly or indirectly, any amendment or waiver of the foregoing other than non-public communications with the Company that are not intended to, and would not reasonably be expected to, require any public disclosure of such communications.
The foregoing provisions of this Section 2(a) shall not be deemed to prohibit or restrict the AREX  Parties from: (A) communicating privately with the Board or the Company’s officers or advisors, so long as such communications are not intended to, and would not reasonably be expected to, require any public disclosure of such communications; (B) taking any action necessary to comply with any law, rule or regulation or any action required by any governmental or regulatory authority or stock exchange to the extent having jurisdiction over any AREX Party or its Affiliates, provided, that a breach by the AREX Parties of this Agreement is not the cause of the applicable law, rule, regulation or action; or (C) privately communicating to any of their investors or potential investors under a customary non-disclosure agreement publicly available information regarding the Company, provided, that such communications are not otherwise reasonably expected to be publicly disclosed.
