 AGREEMENT 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound
hereby, Parent, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub and the Stockholder hereby agree as follows: 
 1.    Agreement
to Vote. Subject to the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3 and the last paragraph of this Section 1, the Stockholder, in its capacity as a stockholder of the
Company, irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it shall validly execute and deliver to the Company, on (or effective as of) the third (3rd) Business Day following the date that the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, the
written consent in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A approving the Merger Agreement, the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement in respect of all of the Covered Shares. In addition, subject to the last
paragraph of this Section 1, prior to the Termination Date (as defined below), the Stockholder, in its capacity as a stockholder of the Company, irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, at any other meeting of the
stockholders of the Company (whether annual or special and whether or not an adjourned or postponed meeting, however called and including any adjournment or postponement thereof) and in connection with any written consent of stockholders of the
Company, the Stockholder shall: 

 (a)    when such meeting is held, appear at such meeting or otherwise
cause the Covered Shares to be counted as present thereat for the purpose of establishing a quorum; 
 (b)    vote (or
execute and return an action by written consent), or cause to be voted at such meeting (or validly execute and return and cause such consent to be granted with respect to), all of the Covered Shares owned as of the record date for such meeting (or
the date that any written consent is executed by the Stockholder) in favor of the Mergers and the adoption of the Merger Agreement and any other matters necessary or reasonably requested by the Company for consummation of the Mergers and the other
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and 
 (c)    vote (or execute and return an action by written
consent), or cause to be voted at such meeting, or validly execute and return and cause such consent to be granted with respect to, all of the Covered Shares against any Acquisition Proposal and any other action that would reasonably be expected to
materially impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Mergers or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or result in a material breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation
or agreement of the Company under the Merger Agreement or result in a material breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation or agreement of the Stockholder contained in this Agreement. 

The obligations of the Stockholder specified in this Section 1 shall apply whether or not the Mergers or any action described above
are recommended by the Company Board or the Company Board has effected a Company Change in Recommendation; provided, however, that in the event the Company Board effects a Company Change in Recommendation in compliance with
Section 7.07(c) and 7.07(d) of the Merger Agreement: (i) the number of shares of Company Stock that the Stockholder shall be committed to vote (or execute a written consent in respect to) in accordance with the preceding provisions of this
Section 1 shall be modified to be only such number that, when aggregated with the number of shares of Company Stock that other stockholders of the Company are obligated to vote (or execute a written consent in respect to)
pursuant to support agreements entered into as of the date hereof, shall not exceed 35.00% of the total number of outstanding shares each of: (A) the Company Stock, being considered as its own class; (B) the Company Common Stock, being
considered as its own class; (C) the Company Preferred Stock, being considered as its own Class; and (D) the Company Founders Preferred Shares, being considered as its own class (collectively, the
“Lock-Up Covered Shares”), such that the Stockholder shall only be obligated to execute a written consent with respect to, or otherwise vote, its pro rata portion of the Lock-Up Covered Shares in the manner set forth in this Section 1 and (ii) the Stockholder shall be entitled (in its sole discretion) to vote any shares of Company Stock that it is entitled
to vote, other than the Lock-Up Covered Shares, in any manner.

 2.    No Inconsistent Agreements. The Stockholder hereby
covenants and agrees that the Stockholder shall not, at any time prior to the Termination Date: (a) enter into any voting agreement or voting trust with respect to any of the Covered Shares that is inconsistent with the Stockholder’s
obligations pursuant to this Agreement; (b) grant a proxy or power of attorney with respect to any of the Covered Shares that is inconsistent with the Stockholder’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement; or (c) enter into any
agreement or undertaking that is otherwise inconsistent with, or would interfere with, or prohibit or prevent it from satisfying, its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. 

3.    Termination. 

(a)    This Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest of: (a) the Effective Time; (b) the termination of the
Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms; and (c) the time this Agreement is terminated upon the mutual written agreement of Parent, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub and the Stockholder (the earliest such date under clause (a), (b) and
(c) being referred to herein as the “Termination Date”). 
 (b)    Upon termination of this
Agreement, no party hereto shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement; provided, that the provisions set forth in Sections 11 to 22 shall survive the termination of this Agreement; provided,
further, that termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any party hereto from any liability for any Willful Breach of this Agreement prior to such termination. 

(c)    The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and in any certificate or other writing delivered
pursuant hereto shall not survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement. 
 4.    Representations and

(a)    The Stockholder is the only record and a beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of, and has good, valid and marketable title to, the Covered Shares, free and clear of Liens other than as created by (i) this Agreement; (ii) applicable securities Laws;

other action necessary in order to, execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Stockholder and, assuming due
authorization and execution by each other party hereto, constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Stockholder enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity.

by the Stockholder with, any Governmental Authority in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Stockholder of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, other than those set forth as conditions
to closing in the Merger Agreement. 
 (e)    The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the
Stockholder do not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, constitute or result in: (i) a breach or violation of, or a default under, the governing documents of the Stockholder, to the extent applicable;
(ii) with or without notice, lapse of time or both, a material breach or material violation of, a termination (or right of termination) of or a material default under, the loss of any material benefit under, the creation, modification or
acceleration of any obligations under, or the creation of a Lien (other than under this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement) on any of the Owned Shares, any Contract to which the Stockholder is a party or by which the
Stockholder is bound or, assuming (solely with respect to performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby), compliance with the matters referred to in Section 4(d), under any applicable Law to which
the Stockholder is subject; or (iii) any material change in the rights or obligations of any party under any Contract legally binding upon the Stockholder, except, in the case of clause (i), (ii) or (iii) directly above, for any such
breach, violation, termination, default, creation, acceleration or change that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or impair the Stockholder’s ability to perform its obligations
hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. 

  
 4 

 (f)    As of the date of this Agreement, there is no action, proceeding
or investigation pending against the Stockholder or, to the knowledge of the Stockholder, threatened against the Stockholder that would reasonably be expected to materially impair the ability of the Stockholder to perform its obligations under this
Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 (g)    The Stockholder understands and acknowledges
that Parent is entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the Stockholder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and the representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements of the Stockholder contained herein. 

(h)    No investment banker, broker, finder or other intermediary is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s,
financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission for which Parent or the Company is or will be liable in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby based upon arrangements made by or, to the knowledge of the Stockholder, on
behalf of the Stockholder. 
 5.    Certain Covenants of the Stockholder. Except in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, the Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees as follows: 
 (a)    No Solicitation. Subject to
Section 6 hereof, prior to the Termination Date, the Stockholder shall not, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Affiliates and Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives not to, directly or
indirectly: (i) initiate, solicit or knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any inquiries or requests for information with respect to, or the making of, any inquiry regarding, or any proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably
be expected to result in or lead to, any Acquisition Proposal; (ii) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any negotiations or discussions concerning, or provide access to its properties, books and records or any confidential
information or data to, any Person relating to any proposal, offer, inquiry or request for information that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to result in or lead to, any Acquisition Proposal; (iii) approve, endorse or recommend, or
propose publicly to approve, endorse or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal; (iv) execute or enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, confidentiality agreement, merger agreement, acquisition
agreement, exchange agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement, option agreement or other similar agreement for or relating to any Acquisition Proposal; or (v) resolve or agree to do any of the foregoing. The Stockholder agrees
that immediately following the execution of this Agreement it shall, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause each of its Affiliates and Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives to, cease any solicitations, discussions or
negotiations with any Person (other than the parties and their respective Representatives) conducted heretofore in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry or request for information that could reasonably be expected to lead to, or
result in, an Acquisition Proposal. 
 (b)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary: (i) the
Stockholder shall not be responsible for the actions of the Company or the Company Board (or any Committee thereof), any Subsidiary of the Company, or any officers, directors (in their capacity as such), employees and professional advisors of any of
the foregoing (the “Company Related Parties”), including with respect to any of the matters contemplated by Section 5(a); (ii) the Stockholder makes no representations or warranties with respect to the
actions of any of the Company Related Parties; and (iii) any breach by the Company of its obligations under Section 7.07 of the Merger Agreement shall not be considered a breach of Section 5(a) (it being
understood for the avoidance of doubt that the Stockholder shall remain responsible for any breach by it or its Representatives (other than any such Representative that is a Company Related Party) of Section 5(a)). 

  
 5 

 (c)    Other than as contemplated by the Merger
Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, the Stockholder hereby agrees not to, directly or indirectly, (i) sell, transfer, pledge, encumber, assign, hedge, swap, convert or otherwise dispose of (including by merger (including by
conversion into securities or other consideration), by tendering into any tender or exchange offer, by testamentary disposition, by operation of Law or otherwise), either voluntarily or involuntarily (collectively, “Transfer”), or
enter into any Contract or option with respect to the Transfer of any of the Covered Shares, or (ii) take any action that would make any representation or warranty of the Stockholder contained herein untrue or incorrect or have the effect of
preventing the Stockholder from performing its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit a Transfer to an Affiliate of the Stockholder or, if Stockholder is an individual, to any member of
Stockholder’s immediate family or to a trust for the benefit of Stockholder or any member of Stockholder’s immediate family (a “Permitted Transfer”); provided, that any such Permitted Transfer shall be
permitted only if, as a precondition to such Transfer, the transferee agrees in a writing, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Parent, to assume all of the obligations of the Stockholder under, and be bound by all of
the terms of, this Agreement. Any Transfer in violation of this Section 5(c) with respect to the Covered Shares shall be null and void.

Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Company and the other parties thereto (collectively, the “Stockholder Agreements”), shall, contingent upon the approval of the requisite stockholders of the Company and the
occurrence of the Closing, terminate and be of no force and effect effective immediately prior to the Effective Time, and the Stockholder hereby agrees to the waiver of any rights thereunder in connection with the transactions contemplated by the
Merger Agreement. 
 7.    Further Assurances. From time to time, at Parent’s request and without further
consideration, the Stockholder shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary or reasonably requested to effect the actions and consummate the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. The Stockholder further agrees not to commence or participate in, and to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any action or claim, derivative or otherwise, against Parent, Parent’s
Affiliates, the Sponsor, the Company or any of their respective successors and assigns relating to the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Agreement, the Merger Agreement (including the Per Share Consideration) or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. 

  
 6 

 8.    Disclosure. The Stockholder hereby authorizes the Company
and Parent to publish and disclose in any announcement or disclosure required by the SEC the Stockholder’s identity and ownership of the Covered Shares and the nature of the Stockholder’s obligations under this Agreement; provided,
that prior to any such publication or disclosure the Company and Parent have provided the Stockholder with an opportunity to review and comment upon such announcement or disclosure, which comments the Company and Parent will consider in good faith.

Agreement may be amended or modified in whole or in part, only by a duly authorized agreement in writing executed by all parties to this Agreement in the same manner as this Agreement and which makes reference to this Agreement. 

11.    Waiver. No failure or delay by any party hereto exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies of the parties hereto hereunder are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have hereunder. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument executed and delivered by
such party. 
 12.    Notices. All notices and other communications among the parties shall be in writing and
shall be deemed to have been duly given: (a) when delivered in person; (b) when delivered after posting in the United States mail having been sent registered or certified mail return receipt requested, postage prepaid; (c) when

 16.    Governing Law and Venue; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury
Trial. 
 (a)    This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules
would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction. 
 (b)    Any Action based upon, arising out of
or related to this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court declines to exercise jurisdiction, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, and
each of the parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such Action, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in
respect of the Action shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and agrees not to bring any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any other court. Nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to affect the right of any party to serve process in any manner permitted by Law, or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other party in any other jurisdiction, in each case, to enforce judgments obtained in any
Action brought pursuant to this Section 16. 
 (c)    EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 

17.    Assignment; Successors. No party hereto shall assign this Agreement or any part hereof without the prior

terms of this Section 17 shall be null and void, ab initio. 

18.    Enforcement. The parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would
not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement) in
accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this
Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, including the Stockholder’s obligations to vote its Covered Shares as provided in this Agreement, without proof of damages and prior to the valid termination of this
Agreement in accordance with Section 3, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (b) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, none of the parties would have entered into this Agreement. Each party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other
parties have an adequate remedy at Law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. The parties acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction to prevent breaches of this
Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 18 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction. 

  
 9 

 19.    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held
invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The parties further agree that if any provision contained herein is, to any extent, held invalid or
unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Agreement, they shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent
necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the parties. 

20.    Captions; Counterparts. The captions in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be considered
a part of or affect the construction or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one
and the same instrument. 
 21.    Interpretation and Construction. The words “hereof,”
“herein” and “hereunder” and words of like import used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The descriptive headings used herein are inserted for
convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. References to Sections are to Sections of this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Any singular term in this Agreement
shall be deemed to include the plural, and any plural term the singular. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. Whenever the words “include,”
“includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation,” whether or not they are in fact followed by those words or words of like import.
“Writing,” “written” and comparable terms refer to printing, typing and other means of reproducing words (including electronic media) in a visible form. References to any statute shall be deemed to refer to such statute and to
any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder. References to any person include the successors and permitted assigns of that person. References from or through any date mean, unless otherwise specified, from and including such date or through and
including such date, respectively. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or
disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. 
 22.    Capacity as a
Stockholder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Stockholder signs this Agreement solely in the Stockholder’s capacity as a stockholder of the Company, and not in any other capacity (including as an officer or director of
the Company) and this Agreement shall not limit or otherwise affect the actions of the Stockholder (or any affiliate, employee or designee of the Stockholder) in his or her capacity, if applicable, as an officer or director of the Company or any
other Person.

Capitalized terms used in this LTI Plan and not otherwise defined will have the meaning given in the Omnibus Plan.   

 

Eligible Participants:   The executive officers of the Company and other members of senior management designated by the Board of Directors of the Company or its Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) will be eligible for awards under this LTI Plan.  In addition, subject to the limitations described below under “Delegated Award Authority,” the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) may designate additional participants to receive CEO Discretionary Awards (as defined below).

 

Purpose:   To attract, retain, motivate, and reward key employees and executives for meeting or exceeding long term financial objectives of the Company and to align the long-term growth and performance goals of key employees and executives with those of shareholders.

 

Awards:   There will be three (3) award components granted annually under this LTI Plan:  

 

	
 
	
•
	
Relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) Performance Shares, representing 40% of the total target award amount;

 

	
 
	
•
	
Absolute TSR Performance Shares, representing 40% of the total target award amount; and

 

	
 
	
•
	
Time-Vesting Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), representing 20% of the total target award amount.

 

CEO Discretionary Awards may consist of some or all of the above in different proportions selected by the CEO. 

 

Award Determination:   Target award values for the awards of Performance Shares and RSUs (other than CEO Discretionary Awards and the target award value for the CEO) shall be established and approved by the Committee. The target value for the CEO award shall be determined by the independent members of the Board of Directors of the Company with a recommendation from the Committee, and target award values for the CEO Discretionary Awards shall be determined by the CEO as described under “Delegated Award Authority.”  Performance Shares and RSUs are valued for this purpose based on the average closing price of the Company’s common stock over the 20 trading days immediately preceding the grant date.  The grant date of awards other than CEO Discretionary Awards shall, unless otherwise determined by the Committee (or the Board of Directors of the Company, in the case of the CEO award), be the date on which the Committee (or the Board of Directors of the Company, in the case of the CEO award) approves the award. 

 

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this LTI Plan document, all determinations with regard to awards for the Company’s executive officers (including target award values) shall be made exclusively by the Committee, except for the award to the CEO (including the CEO target award value), which shall be made by the independent directors of the Board of Directors of the Company, based on a recommendation from the Committee.

 

Performance Criteria for Performance Shares:  Performance Shares granted to LTI Plan participants will be earned only upon achievement of the performance criteria set forth below.  The Performance Shares will have a performance period ending on the last day of the second full fiscal year that follows the year in which

the Performance Shares are granted, with a continued service-based vesting requirement until the third anniversary of the date of grant. 

 

The number of Performance Shares that will be deemed earned by each LTI Plan participant will be determined as of the end of the Performance Period.  

 

The performance criteria and certain other terms of the Performance Shares are described below:

 

	
 
	
1.
	
Relative TSR Performance Shares 

 

	
Performance Assessment:  
	
TSR of the Company relative to the TSR of the Russell 2000

	
Performance Period:  
	
The three consecutive fiscal years beginning with the fiscal year that includes the grant date (provided that, for the Performance Shares granted in fiscal year 2020, the Performance Period shall be May 8, 2020 through October 31, 2022)

	
Payout Calibration:  
	
•100% plus or minus 0.5x the difference between the Company’s TSR and the Russell 2000 index composite TSR

•Payout is capped at 200% of the target number of Performance Shares

•Payout is capped at 100% of the target number of Performance Shares if the Company’s absolute TSR over the performance period is negative

 

The Company’s TSR is calculated by subtracting Beginning Stock Price from Ending Stock Price (as each term is defined below) for the Performance Period, adding any dividends during the period, and then dividing the result by the Company’s Beginning Stock Price.

 

“Beginning Stock Price” shall mean the average closing price of the Company’s common stock over the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day immediately prior to the beginning of the Performance Period (or, in the case of the Performance Shares granted in fiscal year 2020, May 8, 2020). 

 

“Ending Stock Price” shall mean the average closing price of the Company’s common stock over the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the last day of the Performance Period.

 

Performance Shares earned on the basis of Relative TSR Performance remain subject to vesting based on continued service until the third anniversary of the grant date.
