 The consideration payable by the Purchaser for the sale of the Purchased Assets by the
Vendor to the Purchaser shall be the aggregate amount of $3,200,000.00, increased (or decreased) by an amount equal to the Closing Working Capital (collectively, the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price shall be payable by
the Purchaser as set forth in Section 2.5 and Section 2.6(c). 
  

	2.5	Closing Date Payments 

  

	 	(a)	On Closing, the Purchaser shall: 

  

	 	(i)	pay to the Vendor’s Counsel in trust an amount as directed by the Vendor sufficient to vacate the Agrirecycle Liens (the “Security Amount”) by payment of the Security Amount into court for such
purpose, estimated to be approximately $1,044,288.75; 

  

	 	(ii)	pay to the Vendor or as directed by the Vendor an amount equal to $3,200,000.00, increased (or decreased) by an amount equal to the Closing Working Capital set out in the Estimated Closing Statement (the
“Closing Cash Amount”), less the Security Amount paid pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(i); and 

  

	 	(iii)	assume the Assumed Liabilities in accordance with Section 2.2. 

  

	 	(b)	The Purchaser and the Vendor acknowledge that it is not possible to conclusively determine the Closing Working Capital until the Post-Closing Statement is finalized in accordance with Section 2.6. Accordingly, the
Purchaser and the Vendor agree that, not less than three Business Days before the Closing Date, the Vendor shall deliver to the Purchaser a good faith estimate (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) of Closing Working Capital and the
resulting calculation of the Closing Cash Amount. 

  

	2.6	Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment 

  

	 	(a)	No later than 45 Business Days following the Closing Date, the Vendor shall prepare and deliver to the Purchaser a closing statement (the “Post-Closing Statement”) setting forth, in reasonable detail,
the Vendor’s calculation (the “Vendor’s Proposed Calculation”) of the Closing Working Capital and the revised Purchase Price based thereon. The Vendor shall provide the Purchaser and its authorized
representatives with reasonable access and assistance during normal business hours to the books and records of the Vendor to verify the accuracy of Vendor’s Proposed Calculation (including providing reasonable access to any working papers in
respect of Vendor’s Proposed Calculation), provided, however, that such access shall not unreasonably disrupt the operations of the Vendor. 

  

	 	(b)	 The Purchaser may object to any matter relating to the Post-Closing Statement or the Vendor’s Proposed
Calculation by written notice of objection (the “Dispute Notice”) delivered to Vendor within 10 Business Days after the Purchaser’s receipt of the Post-Closing Statement. In the event the Purchaser elects not to deliver a
Dispute Notice to the Vendor within such 10 Business Day period, the Post-Closing Statement will be conclusive and binding on the Purchaser and the Vendor. The Dispute Notice, if any,

  
 12 

	 	
shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the matter in dispute and the basis for the dispute (the “Disputed Matter”) and, if related to a monetary amount, the amount of the
Vendor’s Proposed Calculations in dispute (the “Disputed Amounts”). If the Purchaser delivers a Dispute Notice within the 10 Business Day period referred to in this Section 2.6(b), then: (i) any amount of
Vendor’s Proposed Calculation that is not a Disputed Amount shall be treated as final and binding; and (ii) any Disputed Matter or Disputed Amount shall be resolved as follows: 

 

	 	(i)	the Purchaser and the Vendor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the Disputed Matters and the Disputed Amounts as soon as practicable. If the Purchaser and the Vendor do not agree on the determination
of the Disputed Matters and the calculations of all of the Disputed Amounts within 30 Business Days of a Dispute Notice being received, the dispute shall be referred to the Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall, as promptly as
practicable, make a determination in respect of the Disputed Matters or Disputed Amounts subject to the following: 

  

	 	(A)	The Independent Accountant shall conduct a review and verification of the Disputed Matters and the Disputed Amounts based solely on materials presented by the Purchaser and the Vendor, and not by independent review
(provided, however, that all calculations shall be performed in a manner consistent with past practices of the Vendor), and shall select either the Purchaser’s determination of the Disputed Matters and the calculations of the Disputed Amounts
as set forth in the Dispute Notice or the Vendor’s determination of the Disputed Matters and the Vendor’s Proposed Calculation of the Disputed Amounts as set forth in Post-Closing Statement or an amount that is between the two proposed
calculations. 

  

	 	(B)	Each of the Purchaser and the Vendor shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accountant to render a decision in accordance with this Section 2.6(b)(i), along with a statement of
reasons therefor, within 45 days of the submission of the Disputed Matters and the Disputed Amounts to the Independent Accountant or a reasonable time thereafter. The decision of the Independent Accountant shall be final and binding upon the Parties
and non-appealable, and each such Party shall be entitled to obtain a judgment entered by a court having competent jurisdiction thereover enforcing such decision. 

 

	 	(C)	 In the event the Parties submit any Disputed Matters or Disputed Amounts to the Independent Accountant for
resolution, and the Independent Accountant awards a decision in favour of one Party, the other Party shall be responsible to pay the fees and costs of the Independent Accountant. If the Independent Accountant determines that the Disputed Matters or
the Disputed Amount is between the Purchaser’s calculation of the Disputed Matters or the Disputed Amounts as set forth in the Dispute Notice and the Vendor’s Proposed Calculation of the Disputed Amounts as set forth in Post-Closing
Statement, the fees and costs of the Independent Accountant shall be allocated between the Parties based upon the percentage which the portion of the Disputed Amount not awarded to each Party bears to the amount actually

  
 13 

	 	
contested by such Party. Regardless of the determination of the Independent Accountant, each Party shall be responsible for their own costs and expenses incurred under this Section 2.6(b)(i)
(other than the fees and costs of the Independent Accountant). 

  

	 	(c)	Once the Closing Working Capital has been finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.6, then: 

  

	 	(i)	if the Closing Cash Amount is greater than the Purchase Price, as finally adjusted in accordance with the provisions hereof (the “Adjusted Purchase Price”), then the Vendor shall promptly pay the amount
of the difference between the Adjusted Purchase Price and the Closing Cash Amount to the Purchaser; and 

  

	 	(ii)	if the Adjusted Purchase Price is greater than the Closing Cash Amount, then the Purchaser shall promptly pay the amount of the difference between the Adjusted Purchase Price and the Closing Cash Amount to the Vendor.

  

	 	(d)	Schedule 2.6(d) attached hereto sets forth the basis on which the Working Capital is to be calculated with respect to the Purchased Business, together with a sample calculation thereof. The Parties acknowledge and agree
that the Closing Working Capital shall be calculated on the same basis, and using the same principles set forth in, Schedule 2.6(d) and the sample calculation attached thereto. 

 

	2.7	Allocation of Purchase Price 

 The Purchase Price shall be allocated as set forth in
Schedule 2.7. 
  

	2.8	Tax Matters 

  

	 	(a)	The Vendor and the Purchaser shall file their respective Tax Returns based upon and in accordance with the allocations of the Purchase Price set out in Section 2.7 and will not make any inconsistent statements or
take any inconsistent positions on any Tax Returns, in any refund claims or during the course of any audits by any taxing authorities, except as required by Law. If and to the extent the Purchase Price is adjusted post-Closing as at the Closing Date
in accordance with this Article 2, then the allocation of the Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets shall also be adjusted such that the categories of Purchased Assets in Schedule 2.7 with which such adjustments, if any, are most closely
associated will be adjusted by a corresponding amount, and to the extent that no such association can be determined, the net amount of any such adjustment will be applied to goodwill. If such allocation is disputed by any Governmental Authority, the
Vendor or the Purchaser, as the case may be, receiving notice of such dispute will promptly notify the Vendor or the Purchaser, as the case may be, and the Vendor and the Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts to sustain the final
allocation. The Vendor and the Purchaser will share information and cooperate to the extent reasonably necessary to permit the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be properly, timely and consistently reported. 

 

	 	(b)	 The Purchaser shall pay (or cause to be paid) all Commodity Taxes applicable to, or resulting from the
transactions contemplated by, this Agreement and any filing, registration, recording or transfer fees payable in connection with the instruments of transfer provided for in this Agreement. In respect of the purchase and sale of the

  
 14 

	 	
Purchased Assets under this Agreement, each Party shall pay direct to the appropriate Governmental Authority all Commodity Taxes, registration charges and transfer fees payable by it and, upon
the reasonable request of a Party, the requested Party shall furnish proof of such payment except that the Purchaser shall be liable for and shall pay all applicable Commodity Taxes required to be collected by the Vendor and the Vendor shall collect
and remit any such collected Commodity Taxes as required by applicable Laws. The Purchaser shall also provide Vendor with a purchase exemption certificate or its equivalent to support any reasonable exemption claimed in respect of the Purchased
Assets. 

  

	 	(c)	The Purchaser will not be responsible for the payment of any Taxes to any relevant Governmental Authority relating to the operation and/or the ownership of the Purchased Assets which arise on or before, or are related
to a period of time on or before, the Closing Time. Liability for Realty Taxes shall be apportioned at the Closing between the Vendor and the Purchaser based upon the amounts set forth in the current tax bills therefor and the number of days in the
taxable period prior to (and including) the Closing Date and in the taxable period following the Closing Date. 

  

	 	(d)	The Purchaser is registered for GST/HST purposes under Part IX of the ETA and its GST/HST number is 784057283 RT0001. 

  

	 	(e)	The Vendor is registered for GST/HST purposes under Part IX of the ETA and its GST/HST number is 826461139 RT0001. 

  

	 	(f)	The Vendor agrees to jointly elect with the Purchaser, on the Closing Date, under subsection 167(1) of the ETA, and under any similar provision of any applicable provincial legislation, in the form prescribed for the
purposes of that provision, in respect of the sale and transfer of the Purchased Assets by the Vendor hereunder, and the Purchaser shall file such elections with the Canada Revenue Agency within the time periods prescribed under the ETA, and provide
the Vendor within 20 days of receipt with a photocopy of a written acknowledgement by the Canada Revenue Agency (and by the provincial taxing authority, where applicable) of the receipt of such elections. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, the Purchaser shall indemnify and hold the Vendor harmless in respect of any Commodity Taxes, penalties, interest and other amounts which may be assessed against the Vendor as a result of the transactions under this Agreement
including as a result of the Purchased Assets not being eligible for such elections or as a result of the Purchaser’s failure to file the elections within the prescribed time. 

 

	 	(g)	The Purchaser and the Vendor agree to make and file, in the manner and within the time prescribed in the Tax Act: 

  

	 	(i)	a joint election to have the rules in section 22 of the Tax Act, and any equivalent or corresponding provision under applicable provincial or territorial tax legislation, apply in respect of the Purchased Accounts
Receivable, and shall designate therein that portion of the Purchase Price allocated to the Purchased Accounts Receivable as the consideration paid by the Purchaser to the Vendor; and 

 

	 	(ii)	 a joint election to have the rules in subsection 20(24) of the Tax Act, and any equivalent or corresponding
provision under applicable provincial or territorial 

  
 15 

	 	
tax legislation, apply to the obligations of the Vendor in respect of undertakings which arise from the operation of the Purchased Business and to which paragraph 12(1)(a) of the Tax Act applies.
The Purchaser and the Vendor acknowledge that the Vendor are transferring assets to the Purchaser which have a value equal to the elected amount as consideration for the assumption by the Purchaser of such obligations of the Vendor.

  

	2.9	Tender 

 Any payment of money made pursuant to this Agreement or any document delivered
pursuant hereto will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by the Party entitled to receive such payment or by direct deposit of a certified cheque or bank draft.

	4.4	Books and Records 

 The Purchaser covenants and agrees to maintain in safekeeping the
Books and Records delivered pursuant to Section 6.2(i) for seven years following the Closing Date which relate to periods prior to the Closing Date and, if the Vendor is investigated or audited by a taxation or other Governmental Authority or

Property but such consent has not been obtained by Closing, the Purchaser agrees to proceed with closing the transactions contemplated in this Agreement for all other Real Property, and the

	7.4	Indemnification Procedure 

 The following provisions will apply to any claim by any
person having the right to be indemnified pursuant to this Agreement (hereinafter, in this Section 7.4, any person making a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, the
Person against whom the claim for indemnification is made pursuant to this Agreement is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party” and any such claim for indemnity is referred to as the “Indemnity Claim”). 

 

	 	(a)	Promptly after becoming aware of any matter in respect of which it may assert an Indemnity Claim, the Indemnified Party will provide written notice of the Indemnity Claim to the Indemnifying Party, specifying (to the
extent that information is available) the factual basis for the Indemnity Claim and the amount of the Indemnity Claim or, if an amount is not then determinable, an estimate of the amount of the Indemnity Claim, if an estimate is feasible in the
circumstances; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party from its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party unless (and only to the extent that)
the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such delay. 

  

	 	(b)	 If an Indemnity Claim relates to an alleged liability relating to a Person who is not a Party to this Agreement
(hereinafter in this Section 7.4 called a “Third Party Liability”), including any Governmental Authority, and in relation to such alleged Third Party Liability, the Indemnified Party is required by applicable law to make a
payment to a third party before the relevant procedure for challenging the existence or quantum of the alleged Third Party Liability can be implemented or completed, the Indemnified Party may, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 7.4, make such payment and forthwith demand reimbursement for such payment from the Indemnifying Party; provided that, if the alleged Third Party Liability, as finally determined (upon completion of settlement negotiations or applicable
legal proceedings), is less than the amount that is so paid by the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party will, forthwith following 

  
 27 

	 	
such final determination and receipt of the overpaid amount from the third party, pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount by which the Third Party Liability, as finally determined, is less than
the amount that was so paid by the Indemnifying Party. 

  

	 	(c)	The Indemnified Party will not negotiate, settle, compromise or pay (except in the case of payment of a judgment) any Third Party Liability in respect of which it has or proposes to assert an Indemnity Claim, except
with the prior consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 

  

	 	(d)	With respect to any Third Party Liability, provided the Indemnifying Party: (i) admits, within 30 days of receipt of notice of the Third Party Liability from the Indemnified Party, to the Indemnified Party’s
right to indemnification for the amount of such Third Party Liability that may at any time be determined or settled; (ii) provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party
will have the financial resources to defend Third Party Liability and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder; and (iii) represents that it will conduct the defense of the Third Party Liability actively and diligently, and provided
further that (iv) the action or other proceeding respecting prosecution of the Third Party Liability involves only a claim for money damages and not a claim for equitable relief; and (v) the settlement of, or an adverse judgment with
respect to, the Third Party Liability is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party, then in any
legal, administrative or other proceedings in connection with the matters forming the basis of the Third Party Liability, the following provisions will apply: 

  

	 	(i)	except as contemplated by Section 7.4(d)(iii), the Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume carriage of such legal, administrative or other proceedings through counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory
to the Indemnified Party, but the Indemnified Party will have the right and will be given the opportunity, to the extent the same does not give rise to a material conflict of interest, to participate in the defense of the Third Party Liability, to
consult with the Indemnifying Party in the settlement of the Third Party Liability and the conduct of such legal, administrative and other proceedings (including consultation with counsel); 

 

	 	(ii)	to the extent the same does not give rise to a material conflict of interest, the Indemnifying Party will co-operate with the Indemnified Party in relation to the Third Party
Liability, will keep the Indemnified Party fully advised with respect thereto, will provide the Indemnified Party with copies of all relevant documentation as it becomes available, will provide the Indemnified Party with access to all records and
files relating to the defence of the Third Party Liability and will meet with Representatives of the Indemnified Party at all reasonable times to discuss the Third Party Liability; and 

 

	 	(iii)	notwithstanding Sections 7.4(d)(i) and (ii), the Indemnifying Party will not settle the Third Party Liability or conduct any legal, administrative or other proceedings in any manner that could, in the reasonable opinion
of the Indemnified Party, have a material adverse effect on the Indemnified Party except with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party. 

  
 28 

	 	(e)	If, with respect to any Third Party Liability, any of the conditions set forth in the opening sentence of Section 7.4(d) is or becomes unsatisfied, or in the event that the Indemnifying Party does not act to
diligently defend against such Third Party Liability or declines to assume carriage of the applicable legal, administrative or other proceedings, then the following provisions will apply: 

 

	 	(i)	the Indemnified Party, at its discretion, may assume carriage of the settlement or of any legal, administrative or other proceedings relating to the Third Party Liability and may defend or settle the Third Party
Liability on such terms as the Indemnified Party, acting in good faith, considers advisable; and 

  

	 	(ii)	any costs, damages and expenses incurred or suffered by the Indemnified Party in the settlement of such Third Party Liability or the conduct of any such legal, administrative or other proceedings will be added to the
amount of the Indemnity Claim. 

  

	 	(f)	With respect to any Claim that does not involve a Third Party Liability (a “Direct Claim”), following receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have
60 days to make such investigation of the Direct Claim as it considers necessary or desirable. For the purpose of such investigation, the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party the information relied upon by the Indemnified
Party to substantiate the Direct Claim, together with all such other information in the possession of the Indemnified Party as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. If the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party agree, prior to the
expiration of such 60-day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof), to the validity and amount of such Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall forthwith pay to the Indemnified Party the full
agreed upon amount of the Direct Claim. Failing such agreement and payment, the Indemnified Party may commence an action or otherwise pursue any remedy it may have against the Indemnifying Party. 

ARTICLE 8

notwithstanding the occurrence of Closing and the items delivered at Closing pursuant hereto, the representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the items delivered at
Closing pursuant hereto for the benefit of the Parties in accordance with terms hereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no limitation in respect of the survival of any provision of this Agreement or the period in respect of
which any Claims or other recourse may be made shall apply insofar as the breach of the provision or the matter in respect of which recourse is sought involves fraud on the part of the Party or Parties against whom the provision is sought to be
enforced or from whom such recourse is sought. If any document executed at or after Closing pursuant hereto is inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail unless the Parties expressly and
explicitly agree to the contrary.

dispute within thirty (30) days after Sellers’ Representative’s delivery of such written notice to Buyer, then any matters identified in such written notice that remain in dispute will be finally and conclusively determined by Grant
Thornton LLP, or if such firm is not available or able to perform the tasks contemplated hereunder, by an independent auditing firm of recognized national standing selected by Buyer and Sellers’ Representative, which firm is not the regular
auditing firm of Buyer or Sellers or any of their Affiliates (the “Neutral Accountant”). Promptly, but no later than thirty (30) days after its acceptance of its appointment, the Neutral Accountant will determine (based on
written presentations of Buyer 

  
 -20- 

 
and Sellers’ Representative and not by independent review; provided that the Neutral Accountant shall have the right (but not the obligation) to ask questions, and seek additional written
presentations, of Buyer and Sellers’ Representative) only those matters in dispute and will render a written report as to the disputed matters and the resulting calculation of the final Closing Date Net Working Capital, which report will
thereupon be conclusive and binding upon the Parties. In resolving any disputed item, the Neutral Accountant may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by Buyer or Sellers’ Representative, or less
than the smallest value for such item claimed by Buyer or Sellers’ Representative. The fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountant will be allocated between Buyer and Sellers based upon the percentage which the portion of the disputed amount
not awarded to each Party bears to the total amount of the total disputed matters as originally submitted to the Neutral Accountant. For example, if Sellers’ Representative claims that the Initial Purchase Price is $1,000 greater than the
amount determined by Buyer and the Neutral Accountant awards $400 in favor of Sellers’ position, then 40% of the fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountant would be borne by Buyer and 60% of such fees and expenses would be borne by Sellers. If
Sellers’ Representative fails to notify Buyer of any disputes within the Review Period, the Closing Report (including the calculation of Net Working Capital and the Initial Purchase Price reflected therein) will be conclusive and binding on the
Parties upon the expiration of the Review Period. If Sellers’ Representative notifies Buyer of its agreement with any items in the calculation of Net Working Capital, such items will be conclusive and binding on the Parties immediately upon
such notice. The Closing Report and the calculation of Net Working Capital and the Initial Purchase Price, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.7, will constitute the “Final Closing Report,”
“Final Net Working Capital,” and “Final Initial Purchase Price,” respectively, for purposes of this Agreement. The date on which the Final Closing Report is finally determined in accordance with this
Section 2.7 is hereinafter referred to as the “Determination Date.” 
 (c) If, after final
determination of the Final Closing Report pursuant to this Section 2.7, the Estimated Initial Purchase Price is less than the Final Initial Purchase Price, then Buyer shall, within three (3) Business Days after the
Determination Date, (i) make payment of such difference by wire transfer in immediately available funds to Sellers’ Representative for further distribution to Sellers by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or
accounts designated in writing by Sellers’ Representative, and (ii) issue joint written instructions with Sellers’ Representative to the Escrow Agent to pay the Adjustment Escrow Amount to Sellers’ Representative for further
payment to Sellers. For avoidance of doubt, the requirement of any payment by Buyer pursuant to this Section 2.7(c) shall not affect the otherwise applicable payment of the Deferred Adjustment Amount pursuant to
Section 2.6. 
 (d) If, after final determination of Final Closing Report pursuant to this
Section 2.7, the Estimated Initial Purchase Price is greater than the Final Initial Purchase Price (a “Net Working Capital Deficit”) then: 

(i) If the Net Working Capital Deficit is more than the Adjustment Escrow Amount, (x) Sellers shall issue joint written instructions with
Buyer to the Escrow Agent to pay the entirety of the Adjustment Escrow Amount to Buyer, (y) Buyer shall set off any remaining amount of the Net Working Capital Deficit from the then unpaid Deferred Adjustment

  
 -21- 

 
Amount, and (z) if the remaining amount of the then unpaid Deferred Adjustment Amount is insufficient to pay any remaining amount of the Net Working Capital Deficit, Sellers shall, within
three (3) Business Days after the Determination Date, payment such remaining amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Buyer; and 

(ii) If the Net Working Capital Deficit is less than the Adjustment Escrow Amount, Sellers shall issue joint written instructions with Buyer
to the Escrow Agent to (x) pay the Net Working Capital Deficit amount to Buyer and (y) pay the remaining amount of the Adjustment Escrow Amount to Sellers’ Representative for further payment to Sellers. 

2.8 Closing Transactions. 

(a) Closing. The closing of the Transactions (the “Closing”) shall take place by the exchange of executed documents

agent as directed by Buyer via nationally recognized overnight courier) commencing at 9:00 a.m., Mountain Standard Time, on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver of the

 (D) a duly executed non-foreign person affidavit in the form of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iv)(B) certifying Sellers’ non-foreign status; 

(E) a certificate executed on behalf of Sellers by a duly authorized officer stating that the conditions set forth in Sections 3.2(a)
and 3.2(b) have been satisfied; 
 (F) all documents, certificates, applications and filings, duly executed as applicable by Sellers,
that are necessary to transfer or terminate the Permits as set forth on Schedule 2.8(b)(ii)(F); and

 2.9 Taxes. 

(a) Transfer Taxes. Sellers shall be responsible for the payment of all transfer, documentary, sales, use, value-added, real property
transfer, stock transfer, gross receipts, excise, registration, recording, stamp duty or other similar Taxes or governmental fees (including penalties and interest) arising out of the sale and transfer of the Purchased Assets to Buyer pursuant to
this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”). Sellers shall file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to such Taxes and, if required by applicable Law, Buyer shall join in the execution of any such Tax Returns or
documentation. Sellers shall promptly provide a copy of such filed Tax Returns or other documentation to Buyer. Sellers and Buyer agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate Transfer Taxes that may apply. 

(b) Bulk Transfer Laws. Buyer hereby waives compliance by Sellers and Sellers hereby waive compliance by Buyer with the provisions of
any so-called “bulk transfer laws” of any jurisdiction in connection with the sale of the Purchased Assets to Buyer. 

(c) Withholding. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to
Sellers such amounts as Buyer is required to deduct and withhold under the Code, or any Tax law with respect to the making of such payment. Before making any such deduction or withholding, Buyer shall provide any party

  
 -23- 

 
on behalf of which such deduction or withholding is proposed to be made with ten (10) days advance written notice of the intention to make such deduction or withholding, which notice shall
include the authority, basis and method of calculation for the proposed deduction or withholding, and Buyer will cooperate with any reasonable request from such party to obtain reduction of or relief from such deduction or withholding. To the extent
that amounts are so withheld and paid to the appropriate Governmental Body, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made. 

(d) Tax Returns. To the extent relevant or applicable to the Business or the Purchased Assets, each Party shall provide the other with
such reasonable assistance as may reasonably be required in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return, and the conduct of any audit or other examination by any Governmental Body or in connection with judicial or administrative proceedings
relating to any liability for Taxes. 
 2.10 Nontransferable Assets. 

(a) To the extent that any Purchased Asset to be sold, conveyed, assigned, transferred, delivered to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, or any
claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, is not capable of being sold, conveyed, assigned, transferred or delivered to Buyer hereunder without the approval, consent or waiver of any Person (other than a Party or a
Party’s Affiliates) or if such sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer or delivery or attempted sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer or delivery would constitute a breach or trigger a termination right thereof or a violation of any Law or
Order (each, a “Non-Assignable Asset”), then except as expressly otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall not constitute a sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer or delivery thereof, or
an attempted sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer or delivery of such Non-Assignable Asset absent such approvals, consents or waivers which may be obtained after the Closing Date. If any such approval,
consent or waiver is not obtained on or before the Closing (and until such approval, consent or waiver is obtained after the Closing), or if an attempted assignment of any such Purchased Asset to Buyer would be ineffective so that Buyer would not in
fact receive all such Purchased Assets pursuant hereto, then Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate in a mutually agreeable arrangement and use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Buyer (to the extent permitted by applicable Law and not in breach
or violation of the terms of any Contract binding on either of the Parties) with the benefits of such Non-Assignable Assets and corresponding Assumed Liabilities in accordance with this Agreement; provided
however, that, nothing in this Section 2.10 is intended to modify any representation or warranty of Sellers under this Agreement. 

(b) With respect to any Non-Assignable Asset that is not transferred and assigned to Buyer at the
Closing pursuant to Section 2.10(a), then (i) Sellers shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the requisite consent and transfer and assign the
Non-Assignable Asset to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in connection with the same until the date that is four (4) months following the Closing Date, and
(ii) Buyer and Sellers shall cooperate in a lawful (including to the extent permitted under the applicable Contract) and commercially reasonable arrangement designed to provide Buyer the 

  
 -24- 

 
obligations and benefits of each non-de minimis Non-Assignable Asset, including subcontracting, licensing, sublicensing, leasing or subleasing to
Buyer any or all of Sellers’ rights and obligations with respect to such Non-Assignable Asset. In any such arrangement, Buyer will (x) bear the sole responsibility for completion of any work or
provision of goods and services and (y) be solely entitled to all benefits thereof, economic or otherwise. Upon obtaining the requisite third party approvals, consents and waivers thereto, such
Non-Assignable Asset promptly shall be transferred and assigned to Buyer hereunder, Buyer shall assume such Non-Assignable Asset and such
Non-Assignable Asset shall be deemed to be a Purchased Asset for all purposes under this Agreement. 

2.11 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. From time to time after the Closing Date, at the reasonable request of Buyer and at
Buyer’s expense (but with no charge for time of Sellers’ personnel), Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to execute and deliver such other instruments of sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment and confirmation and take such
action as Buyer may reasonably determine is necessary to transfer, convey and assign to Buyer, and to confirm Buyer’s title to, obligation under or interest in any or all of the Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement, to put Buyer in
actual possession and operating control of such Purchased Assets as contemplated by this Agreement. 
 2.12 Allocation of Purchase
Price. Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall mutually agree on the final allocation of the sum of the Purchase Price (inclusive of the Assumed Liabilities) among the Purchased Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code (and
any similar provision of state, local or foreign law, as appropriate), after the determination of the Final Initial Purchase Price (the “Allocation”). Any subsequent adjustments to the sum of the Purchase Price and Assumed
Liabilities shall be reflected by Buyer and Sellers’ Representative in the allocation hereunder in a manner consistent with Section 1060 of the Code and the regulations thereunder. If Sellers and Buyer are unable to mutually agree to a
final allocation of the Purchase Price and Assumed Liabilities within 120 days after the determination of the Final Initial Purchase Price, such dispute shall be resolved promptly by the Neutral Accountant, the costs of which shall be borne equally
by Buyer and Sellers. For all Tax Returns and reports (including IRS Form 8594), Buyer and Sellers agree to report the Transactions in a manner consistent with the allocation of the Purchase Price as agreed to by Buyer and Sellers’
Representative, and that none of them will take any position inconsistent therewith in any Tax Return (including any refund claim),provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent Buyer or Sellers from settling any proposed deficiency
or adjustment by any Tax authority based upon or arising out of the Allocation, and neither Buyer nor Sellers shall be required to litigate before any court any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Tax authority challenging such Allocation.
Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate in connection with the preparation, execution and filing with the Internal Revenue Service of all necessary information returns required by Section 1060 of the Code relating to the allocation of the
consideration for the Purchased Assets.

such access or disclosure (a) would waive any legal or similar privilege, (b) would be in violation of applicable Law, Governmental Body or the provisions of any Contract to which such Party or any of its Affiliates is a party; provided
that the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts, including by entering into a joint defense or common interest agreement with other Party or obtaining waivers under such agreements or implementing requisite procedures, to permit the disclosure of
such information without loss of such privilege or contravention of such Law or Contract or (c) would reasonably be expected to cause significant competitive harm to such Party. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Party shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to retain the books, records, documents, instruments, accounts, correspondence, writings, evidences of title and other papers relating to the Business in such Party’s respective possession or control for seven
years following the Closing Date. 
 7.2 Employee Matters. 

(a) On the Closing Date, Sellers shall terminate all of the Transferred Employees and shall terminate any Contract with any Business Employee
or Consultant that requires any payment or the incurrence of any other Liability for the payment of severance to any Business Employee upon a termination of such Business Employee’s employment prior to or after the Closing, or requires a
payment or the incurrence of any Liability for the payment of any change in control or transaction bonus to any Business Employee resulting from the consummation of the Transactions. No later than five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, Buyer
shall offer employment, on an “at will” basis to the extent permitted by applicable Law, to each Business Employee set forth on Schedule 7.2(a) on terms and conditions substantially similar, in the aggregate, to those applicable to
such Business Employee immediately prior to the Closing (and otherwise on the terms set forth in this Section 7.2), effective as of the day immediately following the Closing Date. Effective as of the Closing, Sellers shall
transfer to Buyer, and Buyer shall assume (or cause one of its Affiliates to assume), the Assumed Plans. 
 (b) Except for liabilities and
obligations arising on or after January 1, 2018 under the Plans of Sellers listed on Schedule 7.2(b) (the “Assumed Plans”) or as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Sellers shall be solely responsible, and Buyer shall
have no obligations whatsoever for, any compensation, benefits or other amounts payable to any current or former employee, officer, director, independent contractor or consultant of Sellers or the Business, including, without limitation, unaccrued
hourly pay, commission, bonus, salary, accrued vacation, fringe, pension or profit sharing benefits or severance pay, in each case, arising on or before the Closing Date. 

(c) Except for liabilities and obligations arising on or after January 1, 2018 under the Assumed Plans or as expressly set forth in this
Agreement, Sellers shall remain solely responsible for the satisfaction of all claims made or incurred for medical, dental, life insurance, health accident or disability benefits brought by or in respect of the Business Employees and any other
current or former employees, officers, directors, independent contractors or consultants of the Business or the spouses, dependents or beneficiaries thereof, which claims relate to events 

  
 -55- 

 
occurring prior to, or on the Closing Date. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, a charge will be deemed incurred, in the case of hospital, medical or dental benefits, when the
services that are the subject of the charge are performed and, in the case of other benefits (such as disability or life insurance), when an event has occurred or when a condition has been diagnosed that entitles the employee to the benefit. Sellers
also shall remain solely responsible for all worker’s compensation claims of the Business Employees and any other current or former employees, officers, directors, independent contractors or consultants of the Business which relate to events
occurring on or before the Closing Date. 
 (d) Buyer shall provide to each Transferred Employee service credit for the purpose of
eligibility, vesting and post-Closing paid-time-off accrual rates and severance determinations under the Buyer Benefit Plans for his or her period of service with Sellers and their Affiliates (and their
respective predecessors) prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that such credit shall not be given to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits. In addition, each Transferred Employee shall be provided with employee benefits no
less favorable, in the aggregate than those provided to similarly-situated employees of Buyer and its Affiliates. 
 (e) All unused vacation,
sick time and paid time off of the Transferred Employees accrued as of the Closing under the vacation, sick time and paid time off policies of Sellers, shall be carried over and assumed by Buyer or one of its Affiliates at the Closing, the cash
equivalent of which shall be included as a Current Liability in the determination of estimated Net Working Capital and Final Net Working Capital. Prior to the Closing, Buyer shall solicit in writing the consent of each Business Employee set forth on
Schedule 7.2(a) to rollover to Buyer his or her accrued vacation, sick time and paid time off through the Closing; provided that if any Transferred Employee does not consent to the rollover of his or her vacation and such vacation, sick time
and/or paid time off is required to be paid out to such Transferred Employee at the Closing under applicable Law, then Sellers shall pay the amount of such vacation, sick time and/or paid time off (as applicable) to such Transferred Employee
(including the amount of any employer taxes related thereto). Schedule 7.2(e) sets forth the accrued but unused vacation, sick and paid time off of the Business Employees set forth on Schedule 7.2(a) as of the date hereof. If rolled
over and transferred, Transferred Employees shall be permitted to use their accrued vacation, sick time and paid time off in a manner consistent with Buyer’s policies applicable to similarly-situated employees of Buyer and to accrue additional
vacation, sick time and other paid-time-off in accordance with Buyer’s policies and procedures, as in effect from time to time. 

(f) To the extent permitted by any applicable Laws and except as required by the terms of this Section 7.2, nothing
in this Agreement shall limit the right of Buyer, or any Affiliate of Buyer, to terminate or reassign any Transferred Employee after the Closing or to change the terms and conditions of his or her employment in any manner. 

(g) No provision of this Section 7.2 shall create any third party beneficiary or other rights in any Business
Employee or former employee in respect of continued or resumed employment in Sellers’ Business, or with Buyer, and no provision of this Section 7.2 shall create any rights in any such persons in respect of any benefits
that may be provided under any plan or 

  
 -56- 

 
arrangement which may be established by Buyer. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring, and Sellers, Buyer and their Affiliates shall take no action that would have the effect of
requiring, Sellers, Buyer or their Affiliates to continue any specific Seller Benefit Plan (other than the assumption of the Assumed Plans contemplated by Section 7.2(a)). The provisions of this
Section 7.2 are for the sole benefit of Sellers and Buyer and nothing in this Section 7.2, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to constitute an amendment of any Seller Benefit
Plan or any Buyer Benefit Plan (or an undertaking to amend any such plan) or other compensation and benefits plan maintained for or provided to Business Employees, including Transferred Employees, prior to, on or following the Closing. 

(h) Sellers and the selling group (as defined in Treasury Regulation §54.4980B-9, Q&A-3(a)) of which they are a part (the “Selling Group”) shall be solely responsible for providing continuation of coverage under COBRA to those individuals who are M&A qualified
beneficiaries (as defined in Treasury Regulation §54.4980B-9, Q&A-4(a)) with respect to the Transactions (collectively, the “M&A Qualified
Beneficiaries”). Sellers further agree and acknowledge that they or a member of the Selling Group will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such group health plan for the M&A Qualified Beneficiaries for at least sixty
(60) days following the Closing Date. If Sellers and all members of the Selling Group cease to provide any group health plan prior to the expiration of the COBRA continuation coverage period for all M&A Qualified Beneficiaries (pursuant to
Treasury Regulation §54.4980B-9, Q&A-8(c)), then Sellers shall provide Buyer with (a) written notice of such cessation as far in advance of such cessation
as is reasonably practicable (and, in any event, at least ten days prior to such cessation), and (b) such information as Sellers determine is necessary for Buyer to offer any remaining continuation coverage to such M&A Qualified
Beneficiaries as may be required under COBRA and, from and after the date on which Sellers and the Selling Group no longer maintains a group health plan, Buyer shall be solely responsible for providing continuation of coverage under COBRA to those
M&A Qualified Beneficiaries. 
 (i) Buyer shall cause the defined contribution retirement plan maintained by Buyer to accept rollover
contributions of “eligible rollover distributions” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) from the defined contribution retirement plan(s) maintained by Sellers or their Affiliates in which any Transferred Employee
participates, including the amount of any unpaid balance of any participant loan made under such plan(s) in connection with the Transactions. Upon the rollover of any such distributions into Buyer’s plan, all transferred account balances from
Sellers’ or their Affiliates’ plan(s) shall become fully vested. 
 (j) On the Closing Date, Sellers shall (or shall cause their
Affiliates to) transfer (or cause to be transferred) from any positive account balances for the Transferred Employees in the Seller Benefit Plans that are medical and dependent care account plans (each, an “FSA Plan”) to Buyer for
further deposit after the Closing Date into eligible health savings accounts established for or by the Transferred Employees. 
 7.3
Additional Tax Matters. 

  
 -57- 

 (a) To the extent not otherwise provided in this Agreement, Sellers shall be responsible for and
shall promptly pay when due all Property Taxes levied with respect to the Purchased Assets attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period. All Property Taxes levied with respect to the Purchased Assets for the
Straddle Period shall be apportioned between Buyer and Sellers based on the number of days of such Straddle Period included in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the number of days of such Straddle Period included
in the Post-Closing Tax Period. Sellers shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such Property Taxes that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period, and Buyer shall be liable for the proportionate
amount of such Property Taxes that is attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period. Upon receipt of any bill for such Property Taxes, Buyer or Sellers, as applicable, shall present a statement to the other setting forth the amount of reimbursement to
which each is entitled under this Section 7.3(a) together with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the proration amount. The proration amount shall be paid by the party owing it to the other
within ten (10) days after delivery of such statement. If Buyer or Sellers make any payment for which they are entitled to reimbursement under this Section 7.3(a), the applicable party shall make such reimbursement
promptly but in no event later than ten (10) days after the presentation of a statement setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which the presenting party is entitled along with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to
calculate the amount of reimbursement. 
 (b) Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify Buyer in writing upon
receipt by Sellers of notice of any pending or threatened Tax audits or assessments relating to the income, properties or operations of Sellers that reasonably may be expected to relate to or give rise to a Lien on the Purchased Assets or the
Business. 
 7.4 Transaction Expenses. Except as expressly provided herein, including without limitation, Sections 6.9 and
6.10, each Party shall be solely responsible for payment of any fees and expenses incurred by or on behalf of it or its Affiliates in connection with the Transactions or otherwise required by applicable Law (collectively, “Transaction
Expenses”); provided, that all fees, costs and expenses of the Escrow Agent shall be borne in equal amounts by Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand. 

7.5 Restrictive Covenants. 

(a) Consideration. Parent hereby confirms that it will derive significant benefits from consummation of the Transactions. Parent and
each Seller acknowledge that Buyer would not enter into this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements or consummate the Transactions without the undertakings and agreements of each Parent and each Seller set forth in this
Section 7.5. In consideration of the mutual promises made in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, Parent and each Seller agree to the provisions in
this Section 7.5. 
 (b) Noncompetition. 

(i) In order to protect the value of the Purchased Assets acquired by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation,
goodwill, and the legitimate 

  
 -58- 

 
business interests being acquired by Buyer, Parent and each Seller covenant and agree that, during the period from the Closing Date and for five (5) years thereafter (the “Restricted
Period”), Parent and each Seller will not, and shall cause their Affiliates to not, as principal, agent, executive, employee, consultant, volunteer or otherwise, become involved or otherwise engage, directly or indirectly, in the Competing
Business anywhere in the Restricted Area, or, without the prior consent of Buyer, directly or indirectly, advise, own an interest in (including any interest the value of which is determined with reference to equity), manage, operate, join, control,
lend money or render financial, technical or other assistance to or participate in or be connected with, as an officer, executive, employee, partner, stockholder, member, agent, consultant, advisor or other similar capacity, any Competing Business;
provided, however, that mere ownership of securities having no more than one percent of the outstanding voting power of any Competing Business listed on any national securities exchange or traded actively in the national over-the-counter market shall not be deemed to be in violation of this Agreement so long as such Person has no other connection or relationship with such Competing Business
that is prohibited hereby. 
 (ii) As used herein, “Competing Business” the business of manufacturing and selling
compressed wood pellets and sawdust products for use as a fuel source in residential and commercial wood pellet stoves and boilers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the “Competing Business” shall not include wood
handling and chipping services business (including wood chipping mill operation, wood yard operations services, wood fibre processing services and wood chip sales) or the manufacture and sale in Canada of compressed wood pellets for use as a fuel
source by industrial customers for power generation, in each case as presently conducted by Parent or its Subsidiaries (other than Sellers). As used herein, “Restricted Area” means the United States of America. 

(c) Nonsolicitation. During the Restricted Period, Parent and each Seller shall not: 

(i) solicit, encourage, or take any other action which is intended to induce any then-existing employee, contractor or consultant of Buyer (or
any of its Subsidiaries) to terminate his, her or its employment or relationship with Buyer (or any of its Subsidiaries); provided that any general solicitation or advertisement through wide-circulation media or by a recruitment firm located in the
same commuting area as Buyer and not directed at such employees, contractors or consultants of Buyer or its Subsidiaries would not constitute a violation of this Section 7.5. 

(ii) knowingly interfere in any manner with the contractual or employment relationship between Buyer (or any of its other Subsidiaries) and
any employee, contractor, customer or supplier of Buyer (or any of its other Subsidiaries) if, as it relates to a contractor, customer or supplier, by doing so the contractor, customer or supplier would reasonably be expected to reduce the business
it is then doing with Buyer or its Subsidiaries; or 
 (iii) for the purpose of conducting or engaging in a Competing Business, directly or
indirectly on behalf of Parent or a Seller or on behalf of any other Person 

  
 -59- 

 
(whether as employee, agent, partner, shareholder, investor, director, consultant, or in any other capacity) contact, solicit any business from or attempt to sell any goods, products, or services
to any customer or client of Buyer or its Subsidiaries if by doing so the customer or client would reasonably be expected to reduce the business it is then doing with Buyer or its Subsidiaries. 

(d) Acknowledgements. Parent and each Seller acknowledge that the covenants included in this Section 7.5 are
reasonable in their scope and the issue of reasonableness will not be raised as a defense in any proceeding to enforce such Person’s agreements in this Section 7.5. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, a covenant, term
or condition of this Section 7.5 is deemed by any court to be unreasonably broad, invalid, unenforceable or void in any respect, such decision shall not have the effect of invalidating or voiding the remainder of this
Section 7.5 or this Agreement, it being the intent and agreement of the Parties that such covenant, term or condition shall be modified or reformed as necessary in order to render such covenant, term or condition valid,
legal and enforceable while preserving its intent or, if such modification is not possible, by substituting therefore another provision that is valid, legal and enforceable and that achieves the same objective and enforcing such provision
accordingly. 
 (e) Several Obligations. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce any of the separate covenants
(or any part thereof) included or deemed included in this Section 7.5, then such unenforceable covenant (or such part) shall be deemed eliminated from this Section 7.5 for the purpose of those
proceedings to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants (or portions thereof) to be enforced. 
 7.6 Name
Change. No later than five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, each Seller shall (a) change its entity name and any trade or other names to names that are sufficiently dissimilar from “New England Wood Pellet,”
“Allegheny Pellet” or any other trade name used in the Business as of or before the Closing Date, in each case to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer, (b) discontinue its use of such names (or any derivatives thereof) for any and all
purposes whatsoever, except as reasonably required in connection with the satisfaction and payment of the Excluded Liabilities, and (c) take all actions reasonably requested by Buyer to enable Buyer to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction
in which Sellers currently conduct business using Sellers’ present entity or trade names. 
 7.7 Environmental Matters; Special
Indemnity Escrow Amount. With respect to Sellers’ Youngsville, Pennsylvania facility (the “Allegheny Facility”), Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with and discharge as soon as possible all
obligations of NEWP under the consent order and agreement with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (“PA DEP”) dated October 2, 2015 (the “Allegheny Order”), including without limitation,
fully complying with the plan approval issued by PA DEP to NEWP on October 13, 2016 pursuant to the Order (the “Plan Approval”), conducting all air emissions testing required under Section D.II Testing Requirements of the Plan
Approval as expeditiously as possible, submitting results of such emissions testing to PA DEP as expeditiously as possible, and making all payments required of NEWP under Section 5.b. of the Allegheny Order (collectively, the “Allegheny
Air Matter”). Following the Closing, Buyer shall promptly provide 

  
 -60- 

 
to Sellers (i) copies of all written communications with any Governmental Body regarding the Allegheny Air Matter and any air emissions testing results for testing performed prior to the
termination of the Order, and (ii) reasonable advance notice of and the ability to participate in any meetings or teleconferences with any Governmental Body regarding the Allegheny Air Matter. In the event that Sellers or Buyer conduct an
emissions source test using a protocol approved by PA DEP and receive on a date that is prior to four (4) months following the Closing Date as confirmed in writing by PA DEP emissions source test results demonstrating compliance with the
corresponding emissions limits in Section G of the Plan Approval, (i) Sellers shall issue joint written instructions with Buyer to the Escrow Agent to pay the Special Indemnity Escrow Amount to Sellers’ Representative in accordance with
the Escrow Agreement for further payment to Sellers and (ii) Buyer shall be released from any further responsibility under this Agreement for the Allegheny Air Matter. In the event that neither Sellers nor Buyer has conducted an emissions
source test using a protocol approved by PA DEP and received emissions source test results demonstrating compliance with the corresponding emissions limits in Section G of the Plan Approval within four (4) months following the Closing Date,
Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall mutually determine the actions reasonably necessary to bring the Allegheny Facility into compliance with the Allegheny Order and Plan Approval (the “Remedial Actions”), and the amount of
Losses related to such actions (the “Remedial Costs”). In the event that Sellers’ Representative and Buyer have not agreed to a determination of Remedial Costs within five (5) months following the Closing Date,
Sellers’ Representative and Buyer agree to engage environmental consultant TRC Solutions (“TRC”), or another consultant mutually agreed to by the Parties, to promptly provide an opinion as to the Remedial Actions and the
Remedial Costs, and TRC’s determination as to the Remedial Costs shall be used for purposes of this Agreement. Within thirty (30) days following determination of the Remedial Costs (including by TRC, if TRC is retained) Sellers shall issue
joint written instructions with Buyer to the Escrow Agent to pay the Remedial Costs to Buyer from the Special Indemnity Escrow Amount in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. The balance, if any, of the Special Indemnity Escrow Amount not needed to
pay the amount of Remedial Costs to Buyer will be wire transferred by the Escrow Agent to Sellers’ Representative for further payment to Sellers in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. In the event there is any dispute between Buyer and
Sellers as to whether emissions source test results demonstrate compliance with the corresponding emissions limits in Section G of the Plan Approval as confirmed in writing by PA DEP, or whether the source test was performed in accordance with a
protocol approved by PA DEP, Sellers’ Representative and Buyer agree to engage TRC to provide a determination, whose determination shall be binding upon Buyer and Sellers. 

ARTICLE VIII. 

SURVIVAL 
 8.1 Survival
of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. 
 (a) None of the representations and warranties in this Agreement shall survive the
Closing. The Parties agree that (i) the sole and exclusive remedy for any claims for any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of Sellers in this Agreement shall be to recover from the R&W Insurance Policy, and
(ii) neither Buyer nor any Affiliate of Buyer shall 

  
 -61- 

 
be entitled to any remedy from Sellers, Sellers’ Representative, Parent or their respective Affiliates for any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of Sellers in this
Agreement, except to the extent arising out of fraud. It is the express intent of the Parties that the survival of the representations and warranties in this Agreement and any other purported representation or warranty (and the associated right to
bring a claim for a breach of such representations and warranties) is shorter than the statute of limitations that would otherwise have been applicable to such representations or warranties, and, by contract, the applicable statute of limitations
with respect to such representation or warranty (and the associated right to bring a claim for a breach of such representations and warranties) are hereby reduced so they end at the Closing. The provisions of this Agreement (including, without
limitation, the specific representations and warranties set forth herein and the non-survivability of such representations and warranties) were specifically
bargained-for between Buyer, Sellers and Sellers’ Representative and were taken into account by Buyer, Sellers and Sellers’ Representative in arriving at the Purchase Price. The Parties each hereby
acknowledge that this Agreement is the result of arms’ length negotiations among the Parties and embodies the justifiable expectations of sophisticated parties derived from arms’ length negotiations; Buyer and Sellers specifically
acknowledge that neither Buyer nor Sellers have any special relationship with the other party that would justify any expectation beyond that of an ordinary buyer and an ordinary seller in an arms’ length transaction, and there are no grounds
for the tolling of any applicable statute of limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, this ARTICLE VIII shall not in any way inhibit Buyer from obtaining any remedies Buyer may have against any insurer under the R&W
Insurance Policy. 
 (b) The covenants contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date until fully performed in accordance with
their terms. 
 (c) This Section 8.1 shall not limit any claim or recovery available to Buyer (or any additional
insured) under the R&W Insurance Policy. 
 ARTICLE IX. 

TERMINATION 
 9.1
Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

become untrue, in each case, such that the conditions to the obligations of Buyer to consummate the Closing in Sections 3.2(a) or 3.2(b) would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach and, if capable of being cured, is not cured
by Sellers, as applicable, prior to the earlier of (A) ten (10) Business Days after receipt by Sellers’ Representative of written notice thereof from Buyer and (B) February 28, 2018 (as such date may be extended pursuant to
Section 11.8, the “End Date”); provided that the right to 

  
 -62- 

 
terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(b) shall not be available to Buyer at any time that Buyer has materially violated, or is in material breach of any
covenant, representation or warranty hereunder; 
 (c) by Sellers’ Representative, if (i) Buyer has failed to consummate the
Closing when required in accordance with Section 2.8(a) of this Agreement or (ii) there has been a material violation or breach by Buyer of any covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, or if
any representation or warranty of Buyer shall have become untrue, in each case, such that the conditions to the obligations of Sellers to consummate the Closing in Sections 3.3(a) or 3.3(b) would not be satisfied as
of the time of such breach and, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured by Buyer prior to the earlier of (A) ten (10) Business Days after receipt by Buyer of written notice thereof from Sellers’ Representative and (B) the
End Date; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(c) shall not be available to Sellers’ Representative at any time that Sellers have materially violated, or are in material
breach of, any covenant, representation or warranty hereunder;

Section 6.4(b), (x) the Non-Binding Indication to Sellers’ Representative by the time set forth in Section 6.9(a), (y) the Bindable RW Quote by the time
set forth in Section 6.9(b)(i), or (z) the Bindable Environmental Quote by the time set forth in Section 6.10(a), provided that (A) the right to terminate this Agreement

date; (B) Buyer may not exercise the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(e) after 5:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time on the next Business Day following the applicable date of the required delivery
for purposes of clauses (w), (x), (y) or (z) above; and (C) (i) Sellers’ Representative may not exercise the right to terminate this Agreement under clause (w) or (x) of this Section 9.1(e) after 5:00
p.m. Mountain Standard Time on the next Business Day following the applicable date of the required delivery for purposes of clauses (w) or (x) above, (ii) Sellers’ Representative may not exercise the right to terminate this Agreement
under clause (y) of this Section 9.1(e) after Buyer has delivered a Bindable RW Quote and (iii) Sellers’ Representative may not exercise the right to terminate this Agreement under clause (z) of this
Section 9.1(e) after Buyer has delivered a Bindable Environmental Quote; or 
 (f) by either Party, if
(x) within fifteen (15) Business Days after Buyer notifies Sellers’ Representative pursuant to Section 6.9(b)(iii) that the Bindable RW Quote has been withdrawn by the provider thereof Buyer has
not procured and obtained an Alternative Bindable RW Quote, or (y) within fifteen (15) Business Days after Buyer notifies Sellers’ Representative pursuant to Section 6.10(c) that the Bindable Environmental
Quote has been 

  
 -63- 

 
withdrawn by the provider thereof Buyer has not procured and obtained an Alternative Bindable Environmental Quote, provided that (A) the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this
Section 9.1(f) shall not be available to any Party whose breach of the Agreement has prevented any of the deliveries referred to in clauses (x) or (y) above from occurring by the applicable date; and (B) no Party
may exercise the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(f) after 5:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time on the next Business Day following the termination of the
15-Business Day period referred to in clauses (x) or (y) above, as applicable. 
 9.2 Effect
of Termination. 
 (a) In the event of any valid termination of this Agreement by Buyer or Sellers’ Representative as provided in
Section 9.1, (i) this Agreement shall forthwith become void and of no further force or effect (except that this Section 9.2, Section 10.1 and
Section 10.2, and ARTICLE XI shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall be enforceable by the Parties), and (ii) there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of either
Party to the other Party with respect to this Agreement; provided that, nothing in this Section 9.2 (including clause (ii) of this Section 9.2(a)), shall be deemed to release any Party from
any liability for any willful and material breach by such Party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement prior to such termination, and in the event of any such breach, the Parties shall be entitled to exercise any and all remedies available
under Law or in equity. Nothing herein shall limit or prevent any Party from exercising any rights or remedies it may have under Section 11.12 prior to such party terminating this Agreement pursuant to
Section 9.1. 
 (b) Notwithstanding Section 9.2(a), in the event that (i) this
Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1(d)(i) and (ii) any Seller consummates an Alternative Transaction within three (3) months following such termination, Sellers shall pay to Buyer by wire
transfer of immediately available funds, within five (5) Business Days after the consummation of such Alternative Transaction, a termination fee equal to $400,000 (the “Termination Fee”) and a cash amount equal to Buyer’s
reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in connection with its due diligence investigation of Sellers and the Business, up to a maximum of
$900,000 (the “Expense Reimbursement”). The Termination Fee and Expense Reimbursement, if payable by Sellers in accordance with this Section 9.2(b), shall be the sole and exclusive remedy (whether at law,
in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) of Buyer, Buyer Guarantor and their Affiliates against Sellers and their Affiliates and other representatives and successors with respect to this Agreement or the failure of the Transactions to be
consummated or otherwise. If Sellers fail to promptly pay the Termination Fee and Expense Reimbursement due pursuant to this Section 9.2(b), and, in order to obtain such payment, Buyer commences an Action that results in a
final and non-appealable judgment against Sellers for the Termination Fee and the Expense Reimbursement, then Sellers shall pay to Buyer, (i) Buyer’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees) in connection with such Action and
(ii) interest on the amount payable pursuant to such judgment at the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment became due and payable hereunder, with such interest being payable in respect of the
period from the date that payment first became due and payable hereunder through the date of actual indefeasible payment to Buyer; provided, however, if 

  
 -64- 

 
Sellers are the prevailing party in such Action that results in a final and non-appealable judgment against Buyer, Buyer shall pay to Sellers any
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Sellers in connection with such Action. This
Section 9.2(b) shall survive any termination of this Agreement. 
 (c) Notwithstanding
Section 9.2(a), in the event that (i) this Agreement is terminated by any Party pursuant to Section 9.1(d)(ii) due to the failure of the condition set forth in
Section 3.2(g) (pertaining to the Debt Financing) (but excluding a failure of the condition set forth in Section 3.2(g) that results solely from Buyer’s inability to bind at Closing the
R&W Insurance Policy or the Environmental Insurance Policy, unless such failure arises from Buyer’s breach of this Agreement), Buyer shall pay to the Sellers’ Representative by wire transfer of immediately available funds, within five
(5) Business Days after such termination, a reverse termination fee equal to $1,300,000 (the “Reverse Termination Fee”). The Reverse Termination Fee, if payable by Buyer in accordance with this
Section 9.2(c), shall be the sole and exclusive remedy (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) of Sellers’ Representative, Sellers, Parent and their Affiliates against Buyer and its Affiliates
and other representatives and successors with respect to this Agreement or the failure of the Transactions to be consummated or otherwise. If Buyer or Buyer Guarantor fails to promptly pay the Reverse Termination Fee due pursuant to this
Section 9.2(c), and, in order to obtain such payment, Sellers’ Representative commences an Action that results in a final and non-appealable judgment against Buyer for the
Reverse Termination Fee, then Sellers shall pay to Buyer, (i) Sellers’ Representative’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees) in connection with such Action and (ii) interest on the amount payable pursuant to such judgment at the prime rate as published in the
Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment became due and payable hereunder, with such interest being payable in respect of the period from the date that payment first became due and payable hereunder through the date of actual
indefeasible payment to Sellers’ Representative; provided, however, if Buyer is the prevailing party in such Action that results in a final and non-appealable judgment against Sellers, Sellers shall pay
to Buyer any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Buyer in connection with such Action. This
Section 9.2(c) shall survive any termination of this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE X. 

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS 

10.1 Confidentiality. The Parties acknowledge that they have previously executed that certain confidentiality agreement, dated
March 28, 2017 between Taglich Private Equity, LLC and Parent (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), which shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, unless the Closing shall occur, in which case the
provisions of this Section 10.1 shall apply from and after the Closing Date. From and after the Closing until the fifth anniversary thereof, unless otherwise required by Law or the rules and regulations of any stock
exchange or quotation services on which such Party’s or its Affiliate’s stock is traded or quoted, each Party shall hold confidentially, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to hold confidentially, all information furnished
or made available by a Party (the “Provider”) to the other Party (the “Receiver”) pursuant to or in respect of the terms of this Agreement and the 

  
 -65- 

 
Ancillary Agreements and Sellers shall hold confidential, and shall cause their Affiliates and Representatives to hold confidential all information exclusively regarding the Business (all such
information being referred to as “Confidential Information”). The Parties shall, and shall cause their Representatives to, use the Confidential Information only in connection with the performance of this Agreement or as otherwise
contemplated hereby. Confidential Information shall not include information which (a) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiver or its Representatives in violation of this Agreement;
(b) becomes available to the Receiver or its Representatives on a non-confidential basis from a Person other than the Provider or its Representatives who is not known by the Receiver to be bound by a
confidentiality agreement with the Provider or any or its Representatives, or is not known by the Receiver to be under an obligation to the Provider or any of its Representatives not to transmit the information to the Receiver; (c) was in the
possession of the Receiver prior to disclosure by the Provider or its Representatives (provided that any information regarding the Business in the possession of Sellers prior to the Closing Date or provided to Sellers pursuant to, or maintained by
Sellers under, this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall not be subject to this provision); or (d) is developed by the Receiver independent of any Confidential Information provided hereunder. Nothing in this
Section 10.1 shall affect Buyer’s rights in the Purchased Assets following the Closing. If the Receiver or any of its Representatives are required by Law or the rules and regulations of any stock exchange or quotation
services on which such Party’s stock is traded or quoted to disclose any Confidential Information, the Receiver shall provide the Provider with prompt notice of such request or requirement in order to enable the Provider to: (i) seek an
appropriate protective order or other remedy, (ii) consult with the Receiver with respect to the Provider’s taking steps to resist or narrow the scope of such request or legal process or (iii) waive compliance, in whole or in part,
with the terms of this Section 10.1. If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or the Provider waives compliance, in whole or in part, with the terms of this Section 10.1, the
Receiver or its Representative, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable efforts (A) to disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that the Receiver is advised in writing by its legal counsel is legally required to
be disclosed and (B) to ensure that all Confidential Information that is so disclosed will be accorded confidential treatment. 
 10.2
Press Releases and Other Public Communications. No press release or other public announcement or communication related to this Agreement or the Transactions shall be issued or made by any Party without the joint approval of Buyer and
Sellers’ Representative, unless required by Law (in the reasonable opinion of counsel), in which case Buyer and Sellers’ Representative shall have the right to review such press release, announcement or communication prior to issuance,
distribution or publication. 
 ARTICLE XI. 

MISCELLANEOUS 
 11.1
Expenses. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, each Party will bear its own costs and expenses (including legal and accounting fees and expenses) incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the
Transactions. 

  
 -66- 

 11.2 Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each of the Parties
agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all documents and to take, or cause to be taken, all actions that may be reasonably necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of
counsel for Sellers and Buyer, to effectuate the provisions of this Agreement; provided that all such actions are in accordance with applicable Law. From time to time, whether at or after the Closing, at Buyer’s sole expense, Sellers shall
execute and deliver such further instruments of conveyance, transfer and assignment and take such other action as Buyer may reasonably require to more effectively convey and transfer to Buyer any of the Purchased Assets and Buyer will execute and
deliver such further instruments and take such other action as Sellers’ Representative may reasonably require to more effectively assume the Assumed Liabilities. Upon reasonable request and during normal business hours, Buyer and Sellers shall
cooperate with each other, and shall cause their respective Representatives to cooperate with each other, after the Closing to ensure the orderly transition of the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities to Buyer and to minimize any disruption to
the businesses of Sellers and Buyer that might result from the Transactions. If title to any asset which was included in the Purchased Assets is discovered to have been retained by Sellers after the Closing, Sellers shall, upon becoming aware of
such discovery, use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly transfer any such asset to Buyer for the payment of no additional consideration. From and after the Closing Date, Sellers shall promptly remit to Buyer any funds that are received by
Sellers and that are included in the Purchased Assets or that represent the payment of receivables included in the Purchased Assets. Sellers hereby grant to Buyer an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of executing
any reasonable instruments or documents required to be executed by Sellers under this Section 11.2 which execution has not been completed within five (5) Business Days after request therefor by Buyer. 

11.3 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than
the Parties (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Business Employees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement. 

11.4 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties named herein and their
respective successors and permitted assigns, except that neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Party or Parties
(provided that Buyer may assign, in its sole discretion, any or all of its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to one or more of its Affiliates and (without the consent of Sellers’ Representative) may at any time collaterally
assign this Agreement or any of its rights and interests hereunder to any Debt Financing Source; provided, however, that no such assignment shall relieve Buyer of any of its obligations hereunder). 

11.5 Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto and
thereto) constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior understandings, agreements, warranties or representations by or between the Parties, written or

  
 -67- 

 
oral, which may have related in any way to the subject matter hereof. The express terms in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreement control and supersede any course of performance or usage of
the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof and thereof. 
 11.6 Schedules and Exhibits. The Schedules and Exhibits described
herein and attached hereto constitute an inseparable part of this Agreement and are incorporated into this Agreement for all purposes as if fully set forth herein. 

11.7 No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express
their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any Person. The Disclosure Schedules have been arranged for purposes of convenience in separately numbered sections corresponding to sections of this Agreement; provided
however, any information set forth in a particular section of the Disclosure Schedules will be deemed to be disclosed in any other section of the Disclosure Schedules where it is readily apparent on the face of such information that such information
applies to such other section. Capitalized terms used in the Disclosure Schedules and not otherwise defined therein have the meanings given to them in this Agreement. If a subject matter is addressed in more than one representation and warranty,
Buyer will be entitled to rely only on each representation and warranty addressing such matter. The specification of any dollar amount or the inclusion of any item in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or the Disclosure
Schedules or Exhibits is not intended to imply that the amounts, or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included, or other items, are or are not required to be disclosed (including whether such amounts or items are required to be disclosed as
material or threatened) or are within or outside of the Ordinary Course of Business, and no party will use the fact of the setting of the amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any item in this Agreement or the Disclosure Schedules or Exhibits in
any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described or included in this Agreement or in any Disclosure Schedule or Exhibit is or is not required to be disclosed (including whether the amount or
items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or is within or outside of the Ordinary Course of Business for purposes of this Agreement. The information contained in this Agreement and in the Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits hereto
is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein or therein will be deemed to be an admission by any party hereto to any third party of any matter whatsoever (including any violation of Law or breach of
contract). 
 11.8 Amendment and Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement or the Disclosure Schedules or Exhibits hereto may be amended
or waived only in a writing signed by Buyer and Sellers’ Representative. No waiver of any provision hereunder or any breach or default thereof shall extend to or affect in any way any other provision or prior or subsequent breach or default.

 11.9 Notices. All notices, demands and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed

recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), (c) the day following the day (except if not a Business Day then the next Business Day) on which the same has been delivered prepaid to

11.10 Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out
of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or relating to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this
Agreement) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflicts of laws or the choice of law principles of any jurisdiction. 

  
 -69- 

 11.11 Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process. The Parties submit to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the state courts located in Wilmington, Delaware or the courts of the United States located in and for Wilmington, Delaware in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and any Ancillary
Agreement or any related agreement, certificate or other document delivered in connection with this Agreement, and by this Agreement waive, and agree not to assert, any defense in any action for the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement,
the Ancillary Agreements and any such related agreement, certificate or other document, that they are not subject thereto or that such action may not be brought or is not maintainable in such courts or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or
by such courts or that their property is exempt or immune from execution, that the action is brought in an inconvenient forum, or that the venue of the action is improper. Service of process with respect thereto may be made upon any Party by mailing
a copy thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such party at its address as provided in Section 11.9. 

11.12 Specific Performance. 

(a) The Parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in
the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached, including if the Parties fail to take any action required of them hereunder to consummate the Transactions. It is
accordingly agreed that (i) the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the
courts described in Section 11.11 without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement and (ii) the right of specific performance and other
equitable relief is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right, none of the Parties would have entered into this Agreement. The Parties agree not to assert that a remedy of specific performance or other equitable relief is
unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the Parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law. The Parties acknowledge and
agree that any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 11.12 shall not be
required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. If, on or prior to the End Date, any Party brings an action in accordance with this Section 11.12, to enforce specifically the
obligation of the other Party to consummate the Closing, the End Date shall automatically be extended (i) for the period during which such action is pending, plus ten (10) Business Days, or (ii) by such other time period established
by the court presiding over such action, as the case may be. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the right of Sellers to obtain an injunction or
injunctions or other appropriate form of specific performance or equitable remedies described in Section 11.12(a), the Parties acknowledge and agree that Sellers shall be entitled to seek an injunction, specific performance
or other equitable remedies to enforce Buyer’s obligation to consummate the Transactions only if each of the following conditions has been satisfied: (i) all conditions in Section 3.1 have been satisfied at the
time the Closing is required to have occurred 

  
 -70- 

 
pursuant to Section 2.8(a) (other than delivery of items to be delivered at the Closing and other than satisfaction of those conditions that by their nature are to be
satisfied at the Closing, all of which shall have been capable of being satisfied on the date Closing is required to have occurred pursuant to Section 2.8(a)); (ii) the condition set forth in
Section 3.2(g) has been satisfied; and (iii) Sellers have irrevocably confirmed in a written notice delivered to Buyer that if specific performance is granted pursuant to this
Section 11.12(b), then it would take such actions that are within its control to cause the Closing to occur. 

11.13 Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS
LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (iv) EACH SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO
ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.13. 
 11.14 Prevailing
Party. In the event of litigation between the Parties with respect to this Agreement, the prevailing Party in any final and non-appealable judgment resulting from such litigation shall be entitled to
recover from such other Party its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with such Action, including, without limitation,
reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal fees and associated court costs. 

11.15 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid
under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of
such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and the Parties will negotiate in good faith to amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any prohibited or invalid provision with an effective and valid provision that gives
effect as closely as possible to the intent of the Parties to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law. 
 11.16 References. Any
reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign statute or Law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The word “including” shall mean including without
limitation. All references to days or months shall be deemed references to calendar days or months. All references to “$” shall be deemed references to United States dollars. Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference to a

any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 
 11.18 Deliveries. A document or item will be deemed “delivered”,
“provided” or “made available” within the meaning of this Agreement only if such document or item was included in and available at Sellers’ electronic data room in connection with the Transactions at or prior to 11:59 p.m.
Pacific Time on the second (2nd) Business Day immediately preceding the date hereof and not subsequently removed. 

11.19 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts (including by means of telecopied signature pages or
electronic transmission in portable document format (pdf)), each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. 

11.20 Time of Essence. With regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.

 11.21 Sellers’ Representative. 

(a) Each Seller designates Sellers’ Representative as the representative and attorney-in-fact of such Seller with full power and authority, including power of substitution, acting in the name of and on behalf of such Seller, for all purposes under this Agreement, including receipt of
disclosures, granting and/or executing consents or waivers, receiving notices, settling disputes with respect to indemnification claims and the calculation of the Purchase Price and any adjustments thereto in accordance with
Section 2.7 and agreeing to and executing amendments and/or modifications to this Agreement. 
 (b) By executing
this Agreement under the heading of “Sellers’ Representative,” NEWP hereby (i) accepts its appointment and authorization to act as Sellers’ Representative as
attorney-in-fact and agent on behalf of Sellers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) agrees to perform its obligations under, and otherwise
comply with, this Section 11.21. 
 (c) In the performance of its duties hereunder, Sellers’ Representative
shall be entitled to rely upon any document or instrument reasonably believed by it to be genuine and accurate. Sellers’ Representative may assume that any Person purporting to give any notice in accordance with the provisions hereof has been
duly authorized to do so. In the absence of 

  
 -72- 

 
proven willful misconduct, (i) Sellers’ Representative shall not be liable to Sellers with respect to its performance of the functions specified in this Agreement, and (i) no
Seller shall commence, prosecute or maintain any actions or proceedings against Sellers’ Representative with respect to its performance of the functions specified in this Agreement. In determining the occurrence of any fact, event or
contingency, Sellers’ Representative may request from any of Sellers such reasonable additional evidence as Sellers’ Representative in its sole discretion may deem necessary, and may at any time inquire of and consult with others,
including any of Sellers, and shall not be liable to any Seller for any damages resulting from any delay in acting hereunder pending receipt and examination of additional evidence requested. 

(d) Each Seller agrees to cause its respective Affiliates to comply with their respective obligations under this Agreement. 

(e) Parent will automatically succeed NEWP as Sellers’ Representative upon NEWP’s dissolution. 

11.22 No Recourse; Waiver of Claims. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Sellers hereby (a) irrevocably
waive any rights or claims against any Debt Financing Source in connection with this Agreement and the Debt Financing or any of the Transactions, (b) irrevocably agrees not to commence any action or proceeding against any Debt Financing Source
in connection with this Agreement or the Debt Financing or any of the Transactions and (c) irrevocably agrees to cause any such action or proceeding asserted by Sellers in connection with this Agreement or the Debt Financing or any of the
Transactions to be dismissed or otherwise terminated. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing waiver, it is acknowledged and agreed that no Debt Financing Source shall have any liability for any claims or damages to Sellers in
connection with this Agreement or the Debt Financing or the Transactions. 
 11.23 Parent Guarantee. Buyer Guarantor hereby absolutely
and unconditionally guarantees, as principal and not as surety, the performance (and, where applicable, payment) by Buyer (and its successors and permitted assigns) of Buyer’s obligations and liabilities to Sellers under this Agreement, the
Ancillary Agreements and all other agreements entered into pursuant to this Agreement, as the same may be amended, changed, replaced, settled, compromised or otherwise modified from time to time, and irrespective of any bankruptcy, insolvency,
dissolution, winding-up, termination of the existence of or other matter whatsoever respecting Buyer or any successor or permitted assignee.
