(“Holder”) of the Company. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement will have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Merger Agreement (defined below). 

WHEREAS, on November 30, 2017, Parent, Forum Merger Subsidiary Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Parent (“Merger Sub I”), Forum Merger Subsidiary LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub II”), Clearlake Capital Management III, L.P., a Delaware

and conditions thereof, Merger Sub I will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the “First Merger”), and a result of which, among other matters, all of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of the Company and Company Options immediately prior to the consummation of the First Merger (the “Closing”) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to
exist, in exchange for the Total Consideration, including the Parent Common Shares issued as Stock Consideration, Deferred Payment or Earnout Stock Payments; 

WHEREAS, Holder, prior to giving effect to the Closing, is a holder of the capital stock of the Company and/or Company Options in such
amount as set forth under Holder’s name on the signature page hereto; and 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and in
view of the valuable consideration to be received by Holder thereunder, the parties desire to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which the Stock Consideration (including any shares issued by Parent after the Closing pursuant to Section 1.12
of the Merger Agreement), any Deferred Payment paid in Parent Common Shares under Section 1.7(e) of the Merger Agreement or Earnout Stock Payments to be issued to Holder (such Stock Consideration, Deferred Payment or Earnout Stock Payments,
together with any securities paid as dividends or distributions with respect to such securities or into which such securities are exchanged or converted, the “Restricted Securities”) shall become subject to
limitations on disposition as set forth herein. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, which are
incorporated in this Agreement as if fully set forth below, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows: 

1. Lock-Up Provisions. 

(a) Holder hereby agrees not to, during the period commencing from the Closing and through the earlier of (x) the one hundred and
eightieth (180) day anniversary of the date of the Closing and (y) the date after the Closing on which Parent consummates a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction with an unaffiliated third party that results in
all of Parent’s shareholders having the right to exchange their equity holdings in Parent for cash, securities or other property (“Change in Control Transaction”) (the “Lock-Up Period”): (i) lend, offer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, donate, assign, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any
option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Restricted Securities, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic
consequences of ownership of the Restricted Securities, or (iii) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing, whether any such transaction described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above is to be settled by delivery of
Restricted Securities or other securities, in cash or otherwise (any of the foregoing described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Prohibited 

  
 1 

 
Transfer”). The foregoing sentence shall not apply to the transfer of any or all of the Restricted Securities owned by Holder: 

 

	 	(A)	by a bona fide gift or charitable contribution; 

  

	 	(B)	by will or intestate succession upon the death of Holder; 

  

	 	(C)	to any Permitted Transferee; 

  

	 	(D)	pursuant to a court order or settlement agreement related to the distribution of assets in connection with the dissolution of marriage or civil union; 

 

	 	(E)	in connection with the disposition or transfer of Parent Common Shares to the Parent upon the “net” or “cashless” exercise of a stock option for Parent Common Shares; provided that the
underlying Parent Common Shares issued to the undersigned upon such exercise shall continue to be subject to this Agreement; 

  

	 	(F)	in connection with the exercise solely with cash of a stock option for Parent Common Shares by the undersigned, and the receipt by the undersigned from the Parent of Parent Common Shares upon such exercise, provided
that the underlying Parent Common Shares shall continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement; 

  

	 	(G)	to the Parent of Parent Common Shares in connection with the repurchase by the Parent from the undersigned of Parent Common Shares pursuant to a repurchase right arising upon the termination of the undersigned’s
employment or service with the Company or the Parent; provided that such repurchase right is pursuant to contractual agreements with the Company or the Parent; 

 

	 	(H)	to a trading plan established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of Parent Common Shares; provided that such plan does not provide for the
transfer of Parent Common Shares during the Lock-Up Period; or 

  

	 	(I)	with respect to voting rights pursuant to the execution and delivery of a support, voting or similar agreement in connection with a Change in Control Transaction that is approved by the Parent’s Board of Directors;

 provided, however, that in any of cases (A), (B), (C) or (D), it shall be a condition to such transfer that the transferee executes
and delivers to Parent an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the Restricted Securities subject to the provisions of this Agreement applicable to Holder, and there shall be no further transfer of such Restricted Securities
except in accordance with this Agreement; and provided further, that in any of the of cases (A), (B) or (C) such transfer or distribution shall not involve a disposition for value. 

As used in this Agreement, the term “Permitted Transferee” shall mean: 

 

	 	(i)	the members of Holder’s immediate family (for purposes of this Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean with respect to any natural person, any of the following: such person’s spouse, the siblings of
such person and his or her spouse, and the direct descendants and ascendants (including adopted and step children and parents) of such person and his or her spouses and siblings); 

 

	 	(ii)	any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of Holder or the immediate family of Holder; 

  

	 	(iii)	if Holder is a trust, to the trustor or beneficiary of such trust or to the estate of a beneficiary of such trust; 

  

	 	(iv)	as a distribution to the general partners, limited partners, shareholders, members of, or owners of similar equity interests in Holder; or 

 

	 	(v)	to any affiliate of Holder. 

  
 2 

 Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by Parent that
are consistent with the foregoing or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if during the Lock-Up Period the VWAP of Parent Common Shares
for fifteen (15) consecutive Trading Days is at least $12.50 per share (subject to equitable adjustment by Parent in good faith for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and similar transactions) for each such consecutive Trading Day,
then commencing immediately on the next Trading Day thereafter, twenty-five percent (25%) of the Restricted Securities owned by Holder at such time will no longer be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth herein. 

(b) If any Prohibited Transfer is made or attempted contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, such purported Prohibited Transfer shall be
null and void ab initio, and Parent shall refuse to recognize any such purported transferee of the Restricted Securities as one of its equity holders for any purpose. In order to enforce this Section 1, Parent and may impose stop-transfer
instructions with respect to the Restricted Securities of Holder (and permitted transferees and assigns thereof) until the end of the Lock-Up Period. 

(c) During the Lock-Up Period, each certificate evidencing any Restricted Securities shall be stamped
or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form, in addition to any other applicable legends: 
 “THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF [●], 2018, BY AND AMONG THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES (THE
“ISSUER”) AND THE ISSUER’S SECURITY HOLDER NAMED THEREIN, AS AMENDED. A COPY OF SUCH LOCK-UP AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE ISSUER TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN
REQUEST.” 
 (d) For the avoidance of any doubt, Holder shall retain all of its rights as a stockholder of Parent with respect to the
Restricted Securities during the Lock-Up Period, including the right to vote any Restricted Securities that are entitled to vote. 

2. Miscellaneous.

 3 

 
exclusive jurisdiction of any Specified Court for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto and (ii) irrevocably waives, and agrees
not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action

 (h)
Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written
consent of Parent and Holder. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall
be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition, or provision. 
 (i) Severability. In case
any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified or deleted, as to the jurisdiction involved, only to the extent necessary to render the same valid, legal and
enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the 

  
 5 

 
remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby nor shall the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision be affected thereby in any other
jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that
carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision. 

(j) Specific Performance. Holder acknowledges that its obligations under this Agreement are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the
event of a breach of this Agreement by Holder, money damages will be inadequate and Parent will have no adequate remedy at law, and agrees that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not
performed by Holder in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, Parent shall be entitled to an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement by Holder and to enforce specifically the terms
and provisions hereof, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which such party may be entitled under this Agreement, at
law or in equity. 
 (k) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties is expressly canceled; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the
foregoing shall not affect the rights and obligations of the parties under the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Parent or any of the
obligations of Holder under any other agreement between Holder and Parent or any certificate or instrument executed by Holder in favor of Parent, and nothing in any other agreement, certificate or instrument shall limit any of the rights or remedies
of Parent or any of the obligations of Holder under this Agreement. 
 (l) Parent Action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, all actions, determinations and authorizations on the part of the Parent under this Agreement shall be taken and authorized by a majority of the disinterested independent directors on Parent’s Board of Directors,
and the Parent shall not be deemed to have taken any action, made any determination or provided any authorization under this Agreement that has not been authorized by a majority of the disinterested independent directors on Parent’s Board of
Directors, including any amendment or waiver on behalf of the Parent under this Agreement. 
 (m) Further Assurances. From time to
time, at another party’s request and without further consideration (but at the requesting party’s reasonable cost and expense), each party shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be
reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 (n) Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may
also be executed and delivered by facsimile signature or by email in portable document format in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

month. Each monthly installment shall be paid, in arrears, on the 1st business day of each month following the month of service. The timing and amount of any payments are subject to any deductions
pursuant to Section 7. From December 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020, no additional payments shall be made to Consultant by CHSPSC, other than those already made, for any services provided under this Agreement. 

4. Reimbursement of Expenses. CHSPSC shall reimburse Consultant for any reasonable expenses paid or incurred by Consultant while

7. Independent Contractor Status; Post Employment Vesting and Benefits. Consultant expressly represents and warrants to CHSPSC that

9. Confidential Matters and Proprietary Information. Consultant recognizes that during the course of performance of the Agreement,
he/she may acquire knowledge of confidential business information and/or trade secrets (“confidential information”). Consultant agrees to keep all such confidential information in a secure place and not to publish, communicate, use, or
disclose, directly or indirectly, for his/her own benefit or for the benefit of another, either during or after performance of the Agreement, any such confidential business information or trade secrets. Upon termination or expiration of this
Agreement, Consultant shall deliver all records, data, information, and other documents produced or acquired during the performance of this Agreement, and all copies thereof, to CHSPSC. Such material shall remain the property of CHSPSC. This
obligation of confidentiality shall not apply to information that is available to the Consultant from third parties on an unrestricted basis. Consultant will notify CHSPSC immediately upon receipt of any subpoena or other legal process.

discretion any language necessary to make such provision enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the parties expressly agree to be bound by any such provision as reformed by the court. 

(d) Waiver. No waiver of any provisions of this Agreement shall be effective unless the waiver is in writing and duly executed by Consultant
and an Officer of CHSPSC. 
 (e) Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors, and assigns; provided, however, that Consultant shall not have the right to assign this Agreement to any other party.
