WHEREAS, the Holder is the Beneficial Owner (as defined below) of 56,227 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value
$0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”); 
 WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of
the Merger Agreement, and as a condition and an inducement to NAM Parent, NAM and the Company entering into the Merger Agreement, the Holder is entering into this Agreement with respect to the Shares; and 

WHEREAS, each of NAM Parent, NAM and the Company desires that the Holder agree, and the Holder is willing to agree, subject to the limitations
herein, not to Transfer (as defined below) any of its Shares, and to vote its Shares in a manner so as to facilitate consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, and intending to be
legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 

GENERAL 
 1.1
Definitions. This Agreement is one of the “Voting Agreements” as defined in the Merger Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement. 

 “Beneficially Own” or “Beneficial
Ownership” has the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, and a Person’s beneficial ownership of securities shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of such Rule (in each case, irrespective of
whether or not such Rule is actually applicable in such circumstance). For the avoidance of doubt, Beneficially Own and Beneficial Ownership shall also include record ownership of securities. 

“Beneficial Owners” shall mean Persons who Beneficially Own the referenced securities. 

“Transfer” means (a) any direct or indirect offer, sale, lease, assignment, encumbrance, loan, pledge,
grant of a security interest, hypothecation, disposition or other similar transfer (by operation of law or otherwise), either voluntary or involuntary, or entry into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to any
offer, sale, lease, assignment, encumbrance, loan, pledge, hypothecation, disposition or other transfer (by operation of law or otherwise), of any Shares owned by Holder (whether beneficially or of record), including in each case through the
Transfer of any Person or any interest in any Person or (b) in respect of any capital stock or interest in any capital stock, to enter into any swap or any other agreement, transaction or series of transactions that results in an amount of
Shares subject to Article III that is less than the amount of Shares subject to Article III as of the date hereof. 

ARTICLE II 
 AGREEMENT TO
RETAIN SHARES 
 2.1 Transfer and Encumbrance of Shares. 

(a) From the date hereof until the Termination Date, the Holder shall not, with respect to any Shares Beneficially Owned by the Holder,
(i) Transfer any such Shares or (ii) deposit any such Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to such Shares or grant any proxy (except as otherwise provided herein) or power of attorney with
respect thereto. 
 (b) Notwithstanding Section 2.1(a), the Holder may Transfer Shares with the prior written
consent of each of NAM Parent, NAM and the Company and if such consent is provided, as a condition to such Transfer, the recipient agrees in writing to be bound by this Agreement and delivers a copy of such executed written agreement to NAM Parent,
NAM and the Company prior to the consummation of such Transfer. 
 2.2 Additional Purchases; Adjustments. The Holder
agrees that any shares of Company Common Stock and any other shares of capital stock or other equity of the Company that the Holder purchases or otherwise acquires or with respect to which the Holder otherwise acquires voting power after the
execution of this Agreement and prior to the Termination Date shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted the Shares as of the date hereof, and the Holder shall promptly notify the Company
of the existence of any such after acquired Shares. In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, merger, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or the like of the capital stock of the Company
affecting the Shares, the terms of this Agreement shall apply to the resulting securities. 

 2.3 Unpermitted Transfers; Involuntary Transfers. Any Transfer or
attempted Transfer of any Shares in violation of this Article II shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, be null and void ab initio. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Holder hereby authorizes and instructs the Company to
instruct its transfer agent to enter a stop transfer order with respect to all of the Shares, subject to the provisions hereof and provided that any such stop transfer order will immediately be withdrawn and terminated by the Company
following the termination of this Agreement. If any involuntary Transfer of any of the Holder’s Shares shall occur, the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees and subsequent transferees of the initial
transferee) shall take and hold such Shares subject to all of the restrictions, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect until valid termination of this Agreement. 

ARTICLE III 
 AGREEMENT
TO VOTE 
 3.1 Agreement to Vote. Prior to the Termination Date, the Holder irrevocably and unconditionally agrees
that it shall, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company (whether annual or special and whether or not an adjourned or postponed meeting), however called, appear at such meeting or otherwise cause the Shares to be counted as present thereat
for the purpose of establishing a quorum and vote, or cause to be voted at such meeting, and consent to any written consent of the stockholders of the Company, all Shares: 

(a) in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement and approving any other matters necessary for consummation of the transactions contemplated by
the Merger Agreement, including the Mergers (the “Transaction Matters”); and 
 (b) against (A) any agreement,
transaction or proposal that relates to a Fowler Takeover Proposal or any other transaction, proposal, agreement or action made in opposition to adoption of the Merger Agreement or in competition or inconsistent with the Mergers or matters
contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (B) any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
contained in the Merger Agreement or of the Holder contained in this Agreement; (C) any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in (1) any condition to the consummation of the Mergers set forth in Article X of the
Merger Agreement not being fulfilled or (2) any change to the voting rights of any class of shares of capital stock of the Company (including any amendments to the Company’s Organizational Documents); and (D) any other action that
would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, postpone or adversely affect any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, or this Agreement. Any attempt by the Holder to vote, consent
or express dissent with respect to (or otherwise to utilize the voting power of), the Shares in contravention of this Section 3.1 shall be null and void ab initio. If the Holder is the Beneficial Owner, but not the
holder of record, of any Shares, the Holder agrees to take all actions necessary to cause the holder of record and any nominees to vote (or exercise a consent with respect to) all of such Shares in accordance with this
Section 3.1. 

 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary in this Agreement, this
Section 3.1 shall not require any Holder to be present (in person or by proxy) or vote (or cause to be voted), any of the Shares to amend, modify or waive any provision of the Merger Agreement in a manner that reduces the
amount, changes the form of the Merger Consideration payable, imposes any material restrictions on or additional material conditions on the payment of the Merger Consideration, extends the Termination Date or otherwise adversely affects such Holder
of the Company (in its capacity as such) in any material respect, and the Holder shall not be obligated to vote in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement if it is amended in any such respect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, each Holder shall remain free to vote (or execute consents or proxies with respect to) the Shares with respect to any matter other than as set forth in Section 3.1(a) and Section 3.1(b)
in any manner such Holder deems appropriate, including in connection with the election of directors of the Company. 
 3.2
Change in Company Recommendation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that the Board of the Directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) makes a Fowler Adverse Recommendation Change in
accordance with Section 9.02 of the Merger Agreement, the Holder shall not be obligated to vote the Shares in accordance with Section 3.1. 

3.3 Proxy. The Holder hereby irrevocably appoints as its proxy and attorney-in-fact, NAM Parent and any person designated in writing by NAM Parent, each of them individually, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to consent to or vote the Shares as indicated in
Section 3.1 above. The Holder intends this proxy to be irrevocable and unconditional during the term of this Agreement and coupled with an interest and will take such further action or execute such other instruments as may
be reasonably necessary to effect the intent of this proxy, and hereby revokes any proxy previously granted by the Holder with respect to the Shares (and the Holder hereby represents that any such proxy is revocable). The proxy granted by the Holder
shall be automatically revoked upon the occurrence of the Termination Date and NAM Parent may further terminate this proxy at any time at its sole election by written notice provided to the Holder. 

ARTICLE IV 
 ADDITIONAL
AGREEMENTS 
 4.1 Waiver of Appraisal Rights; Litigation. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Holder hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to exercise, any rights of appraisal (including under Section 262 of the DGCL) relating to the Mergers (on the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement) that the Holder may have by virtue of
the ownership of any Shares. The Holder further agrees not to commence, join in, and agrees to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against NAM Parent, NAM,
Holdco or the Company or any of their respective Affiliates and each of their successors or directors relating to the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement as of the date hereof or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including any claim (a) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement (including any claim seeking to enjoin or delay the
Closing) or (b) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of the Company Board in connection with the negotiation and entry into this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby irrevocably
waives any claim or rights whatsoever with respect to any of the foregoing. For purposes of this Section 4.1, “Merger Agreement” shall mean the Merger Agreement as of the date hereof and any amendments thereto in
respect of which the Holder has not terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.4. 

 4.2 Further Assurances. The Holder agrees that from and after the date
hereof and until the Termination Date, the Holder shall take no action that would reasonably be likely to adversely affect or delay the ability to perform its respective covenants and agreements under this Agreement. 

ARTICLE V 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF HOLDER 

5.1 Representations and Warranties. The Holder hereby represents and warrants as follows: 

(a) Ownership. The Holder has, with respect to the Shares, and at all times during the term of this Agreement will continue to have,
Beneficial Ownership of, good and valid title to and full and exclusive power to vote, issue instructions with respect to the matters set forth in Article III, agree to all of the matters set forth in this Agreement and to Transfer the
Shares. The Shares constitute all of the shares of Company Common Stock owned of record or Beneficially Owned by the Holder as of the date hereof. Other than this Agreement, (i) there are no agreements or arrangements of any kind, contingent or
otherwise, to which the Holder is a party obligating the Holder to Transfer or cause to be Transferred to any Person any of the Shares and (ii) other than the Merger Agreement, no Person has any contractual or other right or obligation to
purchase or otherwise acquire any of the Shares. 
 (b) Authority. The Holder is an individual resident of Texas. This Agreement has
been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Holder and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by NAM Parent, NAM and the Company) constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Holder, enforceable against the Holder in
accordance with its terms (except in all cases as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other Applicable Laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to
general principles of equity regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at Applicable Law), and no other action is necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by the Holder or the performance of the
Holder’s obligations hereunder. 
 (c) No Violation. The execution, delivery and performance by the Holder of this Agreement will
not (i) violate any order, judgment or decree applicable to the Holder or any of its Affiliates or (ii) conflict with, or result in a breach or default under, any agreement or instrument to which the Holder or any of its Affiliates is a
party or any term or condition of its limited liability company agreement, except where such conflict, breach or default would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have an adverse effect on the Holder’s ability to
satisfy its obligations hereunder. 
 (d) Consents and Approvals. The execution and delivery by the Holder of this Agreement does not,
and the performance of the Holder’s obligations hereunder will not, require the Holder to obtain any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or to make any filing with or notification to, any Person or governmental or regulatory
authority, except such filings and authorizations as may be required under the Exchange Act. 

 (e) Absence of Litigation. As of the date hereof, there is no proceeding pending
against, or threatened in writing against the Holder that would prevent the performance by the Holder of its obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, on
a timely basis. 
 (f) Absence of Other Voting Agreements. Other than pursuant to Permitted Liens, none of the Shares is subject to
any voting trust, proxy or other agreement, arrangement or restriction with respect to voting, in each case, that is inconsistent with this Agreement. None of the Shares is subject to any pledge agreement pursuant to which the Holder does not retain
sole and exclusive voting rights with respect to the Shares subject to such pledge agreement at least until the occurrence of an event of default under the related debt instrument.

7.10 Headings. Headings of the Articles and Sections of this Agreement are for the convenience of the parties only and
shall be given no substantive or interpretative effect whatsoever. 
 7.11 Interpretation. The parties have participated
jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement. In the event that an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, 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. When a reference is made in this Agreement to Articles or Sections, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of this Agreement unless
otherwise indicated. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or
“including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” References to “the date hereof” shall mean the date of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the
“knowledge” of the Holder means the actual knowledge of the Holder after due inquiry. As used herein, (a) the term “Person” means any individual, corporation (including not-for-profit), general or limited partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, estate, trust, association, organization, governmental entity or other entity of any kind or nature and (b) an
“Affiliate” mean with respect to any Person, any other Person directly or indirectly, controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, such Person, through one or more intermediaries or otherwise; provided, however,
that solely for purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Holder. 

7.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof each signed by less than all, but together signed by all of the
parties hereto. 
 7.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Voting Agreements, the Confidentiality
Agreements, the Merger Agreement (including the exhibits and schedules thereto), the Stockholders and Registration Rights Agreement and any other documents delivered by the parties in connection with the Merger Agreement constitute the entire
agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect thereto. 

7.14 Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by and construed and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflicts of law provisions thereof that would cause the laws of any other jurisdiction to apply. 

 7.15 Assignment; Binding Effect; Benefit. Neither this Agreement nor
any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement
shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, except for the provisions of
Article II, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer on any person other than the parties hereto or their respective heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns any rights,
remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 7.16 Enforcement of Agreement. The parties
hereto 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. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be
entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. 

7.17 Waiver. Except as provided in this Agreement, no action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation
by or on behalf of any party, or delay or omission in the exercise of any right, power or remedy accruing to any party as a result of any breach or default hereunder by any other party shall be deemed to impair any such right power or remedy, nor
will it be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision hereunder
shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any prior or subsequent breach of the same or any other provision hereunder. 
 7.18
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision will, to the extent possible, be modified in such a manner as to be valid, legal and enforceable but so as to retain most nearly
the intent of the parties as expressed herein, and if such a modification is not possible, that provision will be severed from this Agreement, and in either case the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement
will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable. 

7.19 Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. Each of the parties hereto (a) consents to submit itself to the personal
jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery or any federal court located in the State of Delaware in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated herein, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to
deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court and (c) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated herein in any court other
than the Delaware Court of Chancery or any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware. 

 7.20 Delivery by Facsimile or Electronic Transmission. This Agreement
and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Agreement, and any amendments or waivers hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or by
e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it
were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format
data file to deliver a signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or
e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file as a defense to the formation of a contract and each party hereto forever waives any such defense.

This subsection does not, in any way, restrict or impede Executive from exercising protected rights to the extent that such rights cannot be waived by agreement or from complying with any applicable law or regulation or a valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized government agency, provided that such compliance does not exceed that required by the law, regulation, or order.

Executive agrees and covenants that through May 31, 2022, he will not directly or indirectly solicit or contact, or attempt to solicit or contact a current, former, or prospective customer with whom Executive had material contact during the thirty six (36) month period preceding the Effective Date (collectively, “Covered Customer”) for purposes of offering or accepting goods or services that compete with those over which Executive had managerial or executive leadership responsibility during his employment with the Company.

The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Section 409A to the extent subject thereto or be exempt therefrom, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered to be in compliance therewith.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required to avoid the application of an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, the Executive shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Company for purposes of this Agreement until such time as the Executive is considered to have incurred a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A.  Each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided under this Agreement shall be construed as a separately identified payment for purposes of 

Section 409A, and any payments that are due within the “short term deferral period” as defined in Section 409A shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise.  To the extent required to avoid the application of an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following the Executive’s termination of employment shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six months following the Executive’s termination of employment (or upon the Executive’s death, if earlier).  The Company is entitled to determine whether any amounts under this Agreement are to be suspended or delayed pursuant to the foregoing sentence.  Any amounts so suspended shall earn interest thereon, if applicable, calculated based upon the then prevailing monthly short-term applicable federal rate.  To the extent required to avoid an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, amounts reimbursable to Executive under this Agreement shall be paid to Executive on or before the last day of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred and the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement (and in-kind benefits provided to Executive) during any one year may not effect amounts reimbursable or provided in any subsequent year.  The Company makes no representation that any or all of the payments described in this Agreement will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A from applying to any such payment.  Executive understands and agrees that he will be solely responsible for the payment of any taxes and penalties incurred under Section 409A.
16.Compliance with Law. Executive acknowledges that the terms of this Agreement fully comply with applicable law including but not limited to the OWBPA, as amended, and implementing regulations, and that said terms therefore are final and binding. Specifically, Executive acknowledges that this Agreement specifically refers to his rights and claims under the federal and state statutes prohibiting age discrimination, and he understands that he is irrevocably waiving such rights and claims. Executive acknowledges that the compensation and benefits recited in this Agreement are good and valuable.
17.Consideration of Medicare’s Interests.  Executive affirms, covenants, and warrants Executive is not a Medicare beneficiary and is not currently receiving, has not received in the past, will not have received at the time payments are made under this Agreement, and has not applied for or sought Social Security Disability or Medicare benefits.  In the event any statement in the preceding sentence is incorrect (for example, but not limited to, if Executive is a Medicare beneficiary, etc.), the following sentences of this section apply. Executive affirms, covenants, and warrants Executive has made no claim for illness or injury against, nor is Executive aware of any facts supporting any claim against, the Released Parties under which the Released Parties could be liable for medical expenses incurred by Executive before or after the execution of this Agreement.  Furthermore, Executive is aware of no medical expenses that Medicare has paid and for which the Released Parties are or could be liable now or in the future.  Executive agrees and affirms that, to the best of his knowledge, no liens of any governmental entities, including those for Medicare conditional payments, exist. Executive will indemnify, defend, and hold the Released Parties harmless from Medicare claims, liens, damages, conditional payments, and rights to payment, if any, including attorneys’ fees, and Executive further agrees to waive any and all future private causes of action for damages pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1395y(b)(3)(A) et seq.

18.Voluntary Consent. By signing this Agreement, Executive acknowledges (a) he has read this Agreement and fully understands its terms and their import; (b) any and all questions regarding the terms of this Agreement have been asked and answered to his complete satisfaction; (c) he has had at least 21 days to consider the terms and effects of this Agreement (the “Consideration Period”) and has either considered it for that period of time or has knowingly and voluntarily waived his right to do so; (d) he may revoke the Agreement up to 7 days after his signing of the Agreement, (e) revocation of the Agreement is effective by sending written notice to Chief Legal Officer, Trinity Industries, Inc., 2525 N. Stemmons Freeway, Dallas, Texas 75207, so as to be received no later than seven (7) days following Executive’s signing of this Agreement (“Revocation Period”); (f) the receipt of the compensation described in this Agreement is expressly conditioned on his signing of this Agreement and the expiration of the mandatory Revocation Period without revocation by Executive; (g) Company advises Executive  to consult with an attorney of his own choosing regarding the terms of this Agreement; (h) Executive must sign this Agreement and return it to Chief Legal Officer, Trinity Industries, Inc., 2525 N. Stemmons Freeway, Dallas, Texas 75207 within three (3) days of the expiration of the Consideration Period, otherwise this offer will expire and this Agreement will be null, void and of no force or effect; (i) that this Agreement was not requested nor provided in connection with an exit incentive or other employment termination program offered to a group or class of employees; (j) the compensation provided for herein is good and valuable, and it is accepted by Executive in full satisfaction of all claims Executive’s has or may have against the Released Parties, and as adequate consideration for Executive’s agreements, covenants, and commitments made herein; and, (k) Executive is entering into this Agreement voluntarily, of his own free will, and without any coercion, undue influence, threat, or intimidation of any kind or type whatsoever.
19.Successors.  The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, operation of law, or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Executive, expressly, absolutely, and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.
