Without limiting the foregoing, Seller shall not, nor permit the Licensing Subsidiaries to, seek the modification of any Seller Licenses without the prior written consent of Purchaser (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that only prior written notice to Purchaser (rather than prior written consent) shall be required for modifications in the ordinary course of business consistent with Seller’s past practice.

(a)The Parties shall prepare and file with the FCC all applications and notifications necessary to obtain the FCC Consents (the “FCC Applications”) by no later than the Filing Deadline; provided, that the FCC Applications shall not be filed more than 30 days prior to the Filing Deadline unless the Parties mutually agree to file the FCC Applications earlier.  The Parties shall cooperate in the diligent submission of any additional information requested by the FCC with respect to the FCC Applications, and (subject to Section 5.5(d)) will use (and cause their respective Affiliates to use) their respective reasonable best efforts to take all such actions and do or cause to be done all things, necessary, appropriate or advisable to obtain the FCC Consents as soon as reasonably practicable after the Filing Deadline.
(b)Prior to the Filing Deadline, the Parties shall prepare and file with the FTC and the DOJ the notifications required pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any documents required to be filed in connection therewith (the “HSR Notice”).  The HSR Notice shall specifically request early termination of the waiting period prescribed by the HSR Act.  The Parties shall cooperate in the diligent submission of any supplemental information requested by the FTC or the DOJ with respect to the HSR Notice.

To the extent practicable under the circumstances, neither Party shall participate in any meeting or discussion expected to address substantive matters related to the transactions contemplated hereby, either in person or by telephone, with any Governmental Authority regarding the proposed transactions unless, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Authority, it gives the other Party the opportunity to attend and observe.  The Parties shall advise each other promptly in respect of any understandings, undertakings or agreements (oral or written) that either of them proposes to make or enter into with the FTC, the DOJ, the FCC or any other Governmental Authority regarding the transactions contemplated hereby.  To the extent that confidential information of either Party is required to be filed with any 

15

 ​

Governmental Authority, the Party submitting such information shall, prior to such disclosure, (A) notify the Party whose confidential information is to be disclosed, and (B) together with the Party whose information is to be disclosed, seek and use commercially reasonable efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information pursuant to the applicable protective order or other confidentiality procedures of such Governmental Authority.
(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or otherwise, the Parties agree that their respective obligations under this Section 5.5 shall not include any obligation on the part of either Party or their Affiliates to: (i) commit to or effect, by consent decree, hold separate orders, trust or otherwise, the sale or disposition of any assets or businesses or any other structural or conduct relief with respect to its future operations as may be required to be divested or undertaken in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any decree, order, judgment, injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any action, suit or proceeding that would otherwise have the effect of preventing, delaying or limiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) litigate or otherwise pursue any claims against any objections asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or (iii) contest, resist or seek to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, order, judgment, injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any action, suit or proceeding that would otherwise have the effect of preventing, delaying or limiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
		Section 5.6	Financing

(a)Purchaser shall have sufficient funds available to it at the Closing to satisfy the payment of the Purchase Price in full. In the event that Purchaser would need to arrange or obtain any financing in order to have sufficient funds available to it at the Closing to satisfy the payment of the Purchase Price in full (the “Financing”), Purchaser shall use, and shall cause its Affiliates to use, its and their commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Financing is available at the Closing.  Purchaser shall keep Seller informed in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange any Financing. 
(b)Purchaser understands and acknowledges that under the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the transactions hereunder is not in any way contingent upon or otherwise subject to Purchaser’s consummation of any financing arrangements, Purchaser’s obtaining of any financing or the availability, grant, provision or extension of any financing to Purchaser.  For the avoidance of doubt, if any such financing has not been obtained, Purchaser shall continue to be obligated, until such time as this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE 6, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
		Section 5.7	Rebanding

Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to complete the Rebanding within two and a half years after the Merger Closing Date.  If the Rebanding is not completed within two and a half years after the Merger Closing Date, Seller shall promptly share with Purchaser any and all information reasonably necessary to facilitate completion of the Rebanding or reasonably requested by Purchaser in furtherance of completion of the Rebanding.  

16

 ​

For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of Seller under this Section 5.7 shall not apply to any Excluded Rebanding Activities.
Section 5.8Termination of Liens and other Arrangements.  
Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, terminate at or prior to the Closing, (i) subject to the payment of the Purchase Price as contemplated hereunder, all Liens on the Seller Licenses, and (ii) all leases (other than the Specified Leases) or other arrangements with any Affiliates of Seller or other third parties to which the spectrum covered by the Seller Licenses is subject, including any agreement giving any third party any right to use such spectrum after the Closing (but for the avoidance of doubt excluding the Spectrum Lease).  Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to terminate the spectrum leases set forth on Schedule 5.8 (the “Specified Leases”) at or prior to the Closing.  In the event that any Specified Leases have not been terminated and remain in effect as of the Closing, each such remaining Specified Lease shall be assigned to and assumed by Purchaser at the Closing (each such Specified Lease, an “Assigned Specified Lease”).  In the event that Seller may provide notice under a Specified Lease in order to prevent such Specified Lease from being renewed or extended for a period extending beyond the Closing Date, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to timely provide such notice as soon as permitted under such Specified Lease.
Section 5.9Updated Disclosure Schedules.  
Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation), no later than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, to deliver an updated Disclosure Schedule to Purchaser (an “Updated Disclosure Schedule”).  Any additional disclosures provided in such Updated Disclosure Schedule that were not set forth in the Disclosure Schedule delivered by Seller to Purchaser on the Effective Date shall be deemed to have qualified the representations and warranties made by Seller as of the Closing Date (and to cure any inaccuracy in such representations and warranties as of the Closing Date that would otherwise have existed) and be taken into account solely for the purpose of determining whether the representations or warranties made by the Seller in ARTICLE 3 are true and correct as of the Closing (and, for the avoidance of doubt, not as of the Effective Date) for purposes of Seller’s indemnity pursuant to ARTICLE 8 and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be taken into account for the purpose of determining whether the condition to the Closing set forth in Section 6.1(b) has been satisfied.  The right to deliver an Updated Disclosure Schedule shall be at Seller’s sole discretion, and the failure of Seller to deliver an Updated Disclosure Schedule hereunder (or to otherwise notify Purchaser in the event a representation or warranty made by Seller hereunder is or becomes untrue) shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or give rise to any Liability of Seller (other than pursuant to the indemnity obligations set forth in ARTICLE 8 in the event of an inaccuracy of the representations and warranties made by Seller in ARTICLE 3).

(ii)by either Party if the Closing does not occur by the first anniversary of the Filing Deadline (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(a)(ii) shall not be available to either Party if such Party’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement has materially contributed to the failure of the Closing to occur before the Outside Date;

(c)In the event that Seller terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(iii) or Section 7.1(a)(v), or either Party terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(ii), at a time when Seller could have terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(a)(iii) or Section 7.1(a)(v), then, in any such case, Purchaser shall pay to Seller a termination fee of $71,794,777 in cash (the “Termination Fee”), which shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds within three Business Days after such termination of this Agreement.

20

 ​

Closing to specifically enforce Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement, including Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder.

Within twenty days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of and conduct, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense, the defense of such Third Party Claim (with counsel of national standing reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party); provided, that (i) as a condition precedent to the Indemnifying Party’s right to assume and conduct such defense, within fifteen days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of such Third Party Claim, (A) the Indemnifying Party must notify the Indemnified Party in writing that the Indemnifying Party shall undertake the defense of such Third Party Claim and (B) the Indemnifying Party must agree in writing with the Indemnified Party to unconditionally indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against all such Losses that the Indemnified Party may suffer or incur or to which the Indemnified Party may otherwise become subject and which arise from or as a result of or are connected with such Claim, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party may not assume control of the defense of, or conduct the defense of, any Claim to the extent such Claim constitutes a Third Party Claim (A) involving any criminal or quasi-criminal Proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation or seeking to impose any criminal penalty, fine or other sanction, (B) made by any Governmental Authority or to which any Governmental Authority is a named party, (C) in which relief other than monetary Losses is sought, including any injunctive or other equitable relief, (D) which, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, to establish a precedent, custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests or prospects of the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, or (E) that could, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, reasonably be expected to result in Losses in excess of the maximum liability of Seller or Purchaser, as applicable under this ARTICLE 8.
(b)If the Indemnifying Party does not so assume or does not have the right to so assume control of the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense. The Non-Controlling Party may participate in such defense, and may hire separate counsel at its own expense. The Controlling Party shall keep the Non-Controlling Party reasonably advised of the status of such Third Party Claim and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-Controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-Controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such Third Party Claim (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise reasonably cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such Third Party Claim, including by (i) furnishing and, upon request, procuring the attendance of potential witnesses for interview, preparation, submission of witness statements and the giving of evidence at any related hearing, (ii) promptly furnishing documentary evidence to the extent available to it or its Affiliates, and (iii) providing access to any other relevant party, including any Representatives of the Non-Controlling Party as reasonably needed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party with respect to a Third Party Claim shall be considered Losses for purposes of this Agreement only if (A) the Indemnified Party shall have determined in good faith that an actual or potential conflict of interest makes representation by the same counsel or the counsel selected by the Indemnifying 

23

 ​

Party inappropriate or (B) the Indemnifying Party shall have authorized in writing the Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), unless the relief consists solely of money Losses to be paid by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). 
(c)In order to seek indemnification under this ARTICLE 8, an Indemnified Party shall deliver a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party.
(d)Within twenty days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response (the “Response”), in which the Indemnifying Party shall: (i) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount (in which case the Response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Claimed Amount, by check or by wire transfer), (ii) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive the part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount (the “Agreed Amount”) (in which case the Response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Agreed Amount, by check or by wire transfer), or (iii) dispute that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount (whereupon the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party agree that the dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 9.8).
		Section 8.5	Treatment of Payments

Any payment made pursuant to the indemnification obligations arising under Section 8.2 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price to the extent permitted under applicable law.
Section 8.6Effect of Investigation.  
Subject to Section 5.9, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or that any such covenant or agreement is, was or might have been breached or not fulfilled or by reason of the Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 6.2, as applicable.
		Section 8.7	Exclusive Remedy

Following the Closing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the indemnification rights of the Parties and their Affiliates under this ARTICLE 8 are their exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims arising out of or in relation to this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, provided that the foregoing shall not limit any Party’s rights to specific performance or injunctive relief or any Party’s rights or remedies based on fraud.

court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan of The City of New York, and, in each case, appellate courts therefrom. Each of the Parties hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such Proceedings, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of the Proceedings shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and agrees not to bring any Proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any other court (including state court prior to the time that a final determination of non-jurisdiction has occurred).

		Section 9.9	Specific Performance

The Parties acknowledge that, in view of the uniqueness of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of Seller and Purchaser would not have an adequate remedy at law for money damages in the event that this Agreement has not been performed in accordance with its terms, and therefore agrees that, in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, the other Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the other (as applicable), and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the other (as applicable).  Each of Seller and Purchaser agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any other Party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity.  Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Seller shall have no right to seek a remedy of specific performance prior to the Closing, and in the event that Purchaser fails to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder when required by this Agreement or otherwise breaches its obligations hereunder prior to the Closing, then payment by Purchaser to Seller of the Termination Fee (when due and payable as provided in Section 7.1(c)) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller.

THIRD AMENDMENT TO THE 
PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES USA, INC. 
401(k) AND MATCHING PLAN 
(Amended and Restated Effective as of January 1, 2020)

THIS THIRD AMENDMENT is made and entered into by Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. (the “Company”):

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Company maintains the Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. 401(k) and Matching Plan (the “Plan”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 8.3 of the Plan, the Benefit Plan Design Committee (the “Committee”) of the Company maintains the authority to amend the Plan at any time; and

WHEREAS, effective September 1, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), the Committee desires to amend the Plan to limit future contributions and transfers into the employer stock fund. 

NOW THEREFORE, the Plan is hereby amended as of the Effective Date as follows:

1.         Section 4.2 of the Plan is hereby amended as follows:

Trust Divestment Options.  For investment purposes the Trust shall be divided into the Pioneer Stock Investment Fund, which shall be a common fund invested in Pioneer Stock, and such number and kind of other separate and distinct Investment Funds as the Committee shall determine in its absolute discretion; however, the Committee shall offer at least three Investment Funds in addition to the Pioneer Stock Investment Fund, each of which options is diversified and has materially different risk and return characteristics.  Effective September 1, 2020, Participants may invest up to 20% of future After-Tax Contributions, Catch-Up Contributions, In-Plan Roth Rollover Contributions, Matching Contributions, Pre-Tax Contributions, Pre-Tax Bonus Contributions, Rollover Contributions and Roth Contributions in the Pioneer Stock Investment Fund.  Effective September 1, 2020, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, a Participant may not transfer any investment into the Pioneer Stock Investment Fund if the amount a Participant holds under the Pioneer Stock Investment Fund exceeds 20% of the Participant’s total Account balance.  

The Trust assets allocated to a particular Investment Fund other than the Pioneer Stock Investment Fund shall be invested by the Trustee and/or one or more investment managers duly appointed in accordance with the provisions of the Trust, as the case may be, in such type of property, whether real, personal or mixed, as the Trustee is directed to acquire and hold for such Investment Fund. Dividends and other amounts received with respect to Pioneer Stock held in the Pioneer Stock Investment Fund shall be invested in Pioneer Stock.  The assets of the Trust allocated to a particular Investment Fund shall be invested by the Trustee and/or one or more investment managers duly appointed in accordance with the provisions of the trust agreement establishing the Trust, as the case may be, in such type of property acceptable to the Trustee as the Trustee is directed to acquire and hold for such Investment Fund.  Upon becoming a 

Participant in the Plan, each Participant shall direct, in the manner prescribed by the Committee, that all amounts credited to his or her Accounts under the Plan shall be invested, in percentage multiples authorized by the Committee, in one or more of the Investment Funds.  The Plan must provide reasonable divestment and reinvestment opportunities at least quarterly.  Except as provided in regulations, the Plan may not impose restrictions or conditions on the investments in the Pioneer Stock Investment Fund that the Plan does not impose on the investment of other Plan assets, other than restrictions or conditions imposed by reason of the application of securities laws or a condition permitted under Internal Revenue Service Notice 2006-107 or other applicable guidance.  In the absence of such direction, the Participant will be deemed to have directed that his or her Accounts under the Plan be invested in life-cycle of targeted-retirement-date fund or account within the meaning of Department of Labor Regulations Section 2550.404c-5(e)(4)(i).  In accordance with final Department of Labor regulations, the Committee will provide each Participant with a notice, at least 30 days prior to the beginning of each Plan Year, which explains the Participant’s right under the Plan to designate how contributions and earnings will be invested and explaining how in the absence of any investment election by the Participant, such contributions and earnings will be invested in a default investment fund.  Subject to such conditions and limitations as the Committee in its absolute discretion may prescribe from time to time for application to all Participants on a uniform basis, a Participant may change his or her investment direction with respect to future contributions or redirect the investment of the amounts credited to his or her Accounts each business day to be effective as soon as is administratively practicable.

2.         Section 5.3(x) is hereby added to the Plan as follows:

(x)       Any provision of this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, the amounts credited to the Employer Account of a Participant who is specifically designated by the Vice President, Human Resources of the Company as being involuntarily terminated in connection with the Fall 2020 Restructuring Program announced by the Company on August 10, 2020, shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable on the date of such involuntary termination.

NOW, THEREFORE, be it further provided that except as provided above, the Plan shall continue to read in its current state.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has executed this Third Amendment this 27th day of August 2020 to be effective as specified above.

                                                                        PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES USA, INC.

                                                                                    By: /s/ Tyson L. Taylor
                                                                                    Name: Tyson Taylor
