 MEMBERSHIP INTEREST PURCHASE AGREEMENT 

This Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (as may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this
“Agreement”) is dated as of April 1, 2021 (the “Execution Date”), by and among Double Eagle III Midco 2 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), on the one part, and Pioneer
Natural Resources USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”), and Pioneer Natural Resources Company, a Delaware corporation (“Parent” and, together with Purchaser, the “Purchaser Parties”) on
the other part. Seller, Purchaser and Parent are sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Party” and, collectively, as the “Parties.” 

RECITALS: 
 WHEREAS,
Seller owns 100% of the issued and outstanding Interests of Double Eagle III Midco 1 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company,” and all of such Interests, the “Company Interests”); 

WHEREAS, the Company owns 100% of the issued and outstanding Interests of Eagle Point Royalty Member LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(“Eagle Point Member”), Park Hill Resources LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Park Hill”), DE3 Operating LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“DE3 Operating”), DE Midland III LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company (“DE Midland”), Bobwhite Electric LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Bobwhite”), and Double Eagle Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“DE

 WHEREAS, the Company and Eagle Point Member own 99% and 1%, respectively of the issued and outstanding Interests of
Eagle Point Royalty LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Eagle Point”); 
 WHEREAS, Park Hill owns 100% of the
issued and outstanding Interests of Park Hill Disposal LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Park Hill Disposal” and, together with the Company, Eagle Point Member, Eagle Point, Park Hill, DE3 Operating, DE Midland, Bobwhite
and DE Finance, collectively, the “Company Group”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Parties desire that, at the Closing, Seller shall
sell and transfer to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase from Seller, the Company Interests, upon the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth herein. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual promises, representations, warranties, covenants, conditions and agreements
contained herein, and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound by the terms hereof, agree as follows: 

ARTICLE 1 
 DEFINITIONS
AND INTERPRETATION 
 Section 1.1    Defined Terms. In addition to the terms defined in the Preamble and
the Recitals of this Agreement, for purposes hereof, the capitalized terms used herein and not 

  
 -1- 

 
otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in Appendix A. A defined term has its defined meaning throughout this Agreement regardless of whether it appears before or after the
place where it is defined, and its other grammatical forms have corresponding meanings. 

Section 1.2    References and Rules of Construction. All references in this Agreement to Exhibits, Schedules,
Appendices, Articles, Sections, subsections, clauses, and other subdivisions refer to the corresponding Exhibits, Schedules, Appendices, Articles, Sections, subsections, clauses, and other subdivisions of or to this Agreement unless expressly
provided otherwise. Titles appearing at the beginning of any Exhibits, Schedules, Appendices, Articles, Sections, subsections, clauses, and other subdivisions of this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute any part of this Agreement,
and shall be disregarded in construing the language hereof. All references to “$” shall be deemed references to Dollars. Each accounting term not defined herein will have the meaning given to it under GAAP as interpreted as of the
Execution Date, and, as applicable, as consistently applied in the oil and gas industry. Unless the context requires otherwise, the word “or” is not exclusive. As used herein, the word (a) “day” means calendar day; (b)
“extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”; (c) “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereby,”
“hereunder,” and “hereof,” and words of similar import, refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section, subsection, clause, or other subdivision unless expressly so limited; (d) “this
Article,” “this Section,” “this subsection,” “this clause,” and words of similar import, refer only to the Article, Section, subsection, and clause hereof in which such words occur; and (e) “including”
(in its various forms) means including without limitation. Pronouns in masculine, feminine, or neuter genders shall be construed to state and include any other gender, and words, terms, and titles (including terms defined herein) in the singular
form shall be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. Appendices, Exhibits, and Schedules referred to herein are attached to this Agreement and by this reference incorporated herein for all purposes.
Reference herein to any federal, state, local, or foreign Law shall be deemed to also refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise, and shall also be deemed to refer to such Laws as in effect as of
the Execution Date or as hereafter amended. Examples are not to be construed to limit, expressly or by implication, the matter they illustrate. References to a specific time shall refer to prevailing Central Time, unless otherwise indicated. If any
period of days referred to in this Agreement shall end on a day that is not a Business Day, then the expiration of such period shall be automatically extended until the end of the first succeeding Business Day. Except as otherwise specifically
provided in this Agreement, any agreement, instrument, or writing defined or referred to herein means such agreement, instrument, or writing, as from time to time amended, supplemented, or modified prior to the Execution Date. 

ARTICLE 2 
 PURCHASE AND
SALE 
 Section 2.1    Purchase and Sale. At the Closing, upon the terms and subject to the conditions
of this Agreement, Seller agrees to sell, transfer, and convey the Company Interests to Purchaser, free and clear of any Encumbrances (other than restrictions on transfer that may be imposed by state or federal securities Laws or the Company
Organizational Documents), and Purchaser agrees to purchase, accept, and pay for the Company Interests. 

  
 -2- 

 Section 2.2    Purchase Price. The total consideration to be
paid for the Company Interests shall be comprised of (i) cash in the amount of $1,000,000,000 (the “Cash Purchase Price”) and (ii) 27,187,500 shares of Parent Common Stock (such shares of Parent Common Stock, the “Stock
Purchase Price” and, together with the Cash Purchase Price, the “Purchase Price”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at any time on or after the date hereof and prior to the Closing, (x) Parent makes (or any record
date occurs with respect thereto) (A) any Parent dividend or distribution on the Parent Common Stock in Parent Common Stock, (B) subdivision or split of any Parent Common Stock, (C) combination or reclassification of Parent Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares of Parent Common Stock or (D) issuance of any securities by reclassification of Parent Common Stock (including any reclassification in connection with a merger, consolidation or business combination in
which Parent is the surviving person) or (y) any merger, consolidation, combination, or other transaction is consummated pursuant to which Parent Common Stock is converted to cash or other securities, then the number of shares of Parent Common
Stock to be issued to Seller (and/or, if applicable, to those Seller Designees to whom Seller designates to receive all or a portion of the shares of Parent Common Stock comprising the Stock Purchase Price as identified in writing to Purchaser at
least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date) as the Stock Purchase Price pursuant to this Agreement shall be proportionately adjusted, including, for the avoidance of doubt, in the cases of clauses (x)(D) and (y) to provide for the
receipt by Seller, in lieu of any Parent Common Stock, the same number or amount of cash and/or securities as is received in exchange for each share of Parent Common Stock in connection with any such transaction described in clauses (x)(D) and
(y) hereof. An adjustment made pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision,
split, combination, reclassification or other transaction. 
 Section 2.3    Indebtedness Free. Except for
Indebtedness under the Existing Company Notes, the Company RBL or as described in Schedule 3.31, at the Closing, the Company Group will not be responsible for any obligations to repay Indebtedness. Accordingly, except as
set forth in Section 5.14, at or prior to the Closing, Seller will pay, or cause an Affiliate (other than a Company Group Member) to repay (or otherwise cause the release of the Company Group from any obligations with
respect to), any outstanding Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness under the Existing Company Notes or the Company RBL) with respect to, or binding upon, any Company Group Member, any Company Group Interests, or any Assets. 

Section 2.4    Withholding. The Purchaser Parties and their Affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and
withhold from any consideration otherwise payable or deliverable to Seller such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or pursuant to any other applicable Law (and, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent
deduction and withholding is required in respect of the delivery of any Parent Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, a portion of the Parent Common Stock otherwise deliverable hereunder may be withheld). If the applicable withholding agent
intends to withhold from any amounts payable to Seller (other than with respect to any withholding relating to a failure by Seller to deliver to Purchaser, at or prior to the Closing, the deliverable contemplated in
Section 7.2(b)), the applicable withholding agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide prior notice of such withholding to the Company as soon as reasonably practicable after it determines withholding is
required and to reasonably cooperate to reduce or eliminate such withholding to the extent permissible under applicable Law. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and remitted to the appropriate

  
 -3- 

 
Governmental Authority within the time frame that is required under applicable Law, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such
amounts would otherwise have been paid absent such deduction or withholding, and, if a portion of the Parent Common Stock otherwise deliverable to a Person is withheld hereunder, the relevant withholding party shall be treated as having sold such
Parent Common Stock on behalf of such Person for an amount of cash equal to the fair market value thereof at the time of the required withholding (which fair market value shall be deemed to be the closing price of shares of Parent Common Stock on
the NYSE on the Closing Date) and having paid such cash proceeds to the appropriate Governmental Authority. 
 ARTICLE 3 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER 

Section 3.1    Generally. 

(a)    Any representation or warranty qualified by the “knowledge of Seller” or “to Seller’s
knowledge” or with any similar knowledge qualification is limited to matters within the Knowledge of the individuals listed in Schedule 3.1. 

(b)    Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1, the disclaimers and waivers
contained in and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the exceptions and matters set forth on the Schedules attached to this Agreement, Seller represents and warrants to the Purchaser Parties the matters set forth in this Article
3 as of the Execution Date (except for the representations and warranties that refer to a specified date, which will be deemed made as of such date). 

Section 3.2    Existence and Qualification. 

(a)    Seller is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the Laws of the

 Purchaser’s approval of any action restricted by this Section 5.4 shall be considered granted
within ten days after Seller’s notice to Purchaser requesting such consent unless Purchaser notifies Seller to the contrary during that period. In the event of an emergency, Seller (or the applicable Company Group Member) may take such action
as a prudent owner or operator would take and shall notify Purchaser of such action promptly thereafter. In cases in which neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates is the operator of any portion of the Assets, to the extent that the actions
described in this Section 5.4 may only be taken by (or are the primary responsibility of) the operator of such Assets, the provisions of this Section 5.4 shall be construed to require only that
Seller use, or cause the applicable Company Group Member to use, commercially reasonable efforts to cause the operator(s) of such Assets to take such actions within the constraints of the applicable operating agreements and other applicable
agreements. 
 Section 5.5    Amendment to Schedules. At any point prior to the date that is three Business
Days prior to Closing, Seller shall have the right to supplement its Schedules relating to the representations and warranties set forth in Article 3 with respect to any matters occurring subsequent to the Execution Date. However, all such
supplements shall be disregarded for all purposes, including determining whether the condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close the transaction pursuant to Section 6.2(a) has been satisfied; provided,
however, if Seller has supplemented its Schedules pursuant to this Section 5.5, and, based upon the matters relating to such supplements, to Purchaser’s knowledge (after reasonable inquiry) Purchaser’s
obligation to close the transaction pursuant to Section 6.2(a) has not been satisfied but Purchaser nevertheless elects to close the transactions contemplated hereunder, Purchaser will be deemed to have waived only the
matters disclosed pursuant to any such addition, supplement or amendment at or prior to Closing which gave rise to Purchaser’s right to not close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 

Section 5.6    Further Assurances. After Closing, the Parties agree to take such further actions and to
execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further documents as are reasonably requested by the other Party for carrying out the purposes of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

acquisition or purchase of all or any portion of the Company Group Interests or any Assets (an “Acquisition Proposal”), except for sales and dispositions of Hydrocarbons made in the ordinary course of business consistent with past
practices, (B) to enter into any merger, joint venture, consolidation or other business combination relating to the Company or any member of the Company Group, or (C) to enter into a recapitalization, reorganization or any other

Acquisition Proposal, and shall enforce the provisions of any such agreement, which shall include seeking any injunctive relief available to enforce such agreement. Seller shall not, and shall cause the Company and each member of the Company Group

to) within three Business Days following the termination date, (i) either (A) terminate all Hedging Transactions included in the Replacement Hedging Portfolio set forth on Schedule 3.40(b) or (B) keep in place the Replacement

 Section 5.12    Employee Matters. 

(a)    Within three Business Days following the Execution Date, Seller will provide to Purchaser a schedule (the
“Business Employee Census”) of certain Business Employees (the “Scheduled Business Employees”) of Double Eagle Energy Operating III LLC (“Seller Management Co.”) setting forth each such Business
Employee’s (i) name, (ii) title or position, (iii) full-time or part-time status, (iv) date of hire, (v) base annual salary or hourly wage rate, (vi) effective date of most recent base salary or wage rate adjustment,
(vii) any commission, bonus or other cash incentive entitlements, (viii) whether such employee is currently on a leave of absence and, if so, the nature of such leave, (ix) severance entitlements (the “Business Employee
Severance Amount”), and (x) principal office location. Purchaser and its Affiliates may interview one or more of the Scheduled Business Employees and conduct any such standard employee screening and eligibility procedures with regard
to such Scheduled Business Employees as the Purchaser and its Affiliates conduct with respect to candidates for employment in the Purchaser’s ordinary course of business, and the Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, including the
Seller Management Co., to provide the Purchaser with reasonable access to the Scheduled Business Employees to facilitate any such interviews conducted by or on behalf of Purchaser. As soon as practicable after the date hereof, Seller shall, and
shall cause its Affiliates, including the Seller Management Co. to, communicate to those Scheduled Business Employees identified on the Business Employee Census as being located in the Midland, Texas office of Seller Management Co. that they will
not be eligible for any severance payments or severance benefits in the event that they refuse an offer of employment extended by Purchaser or its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 5.12(a). No later than seven days prior
to the Closing, the Purchaser shall or shall cause one of its Affiliates to extend offers to hire any of the Scheduled Business Employees that Purchaser determines in its sole discretion, which offers shall provide for a no less favorable base
salary or wage rate than is provided to similarly situated employees of Purchaser and its Affiliates and health, paid time off and retirement benefits and annual cash incentive opportunities that are no less favorable, in the aggregate, than the
health, paid time off and retirement benefits and annual cash incentive opportunities provided to similarly situated employees of Purchaser and its Affiliates (each such Scheduled Business Employee who accepts such offer and actually commences
employment with the Purchaser or its Affiliates shall be a “Transferred Employee”). 
 (b)    Purchaser
will, or will cause its Affiliates to, for at least 12 months following the Closing Date to provide (i) base salaries or hourly wage rates, as applicable, to each Transferred Employee that remains employed by the Purchaser or its Affiliates,
that are at least as favorable as the base salaries or hourly wage rates, as applicable, provided to similarly situated employees of Purchaser and its Affiliates and (ii) health, paid time off and retirement benefits and annual cash incentive
opportunities that are no less favorable, in the aggregate, than the health, paid time off and retirement benefits and annual cash incentive opportunities provided to similarly situated employees of Purchaser and its Affiliates. Purchaser or its
Affiliates may terminate the Transferred Employees for any reason or for no reason at all, at any time; provided; however, that in the event the Purchaser or its Affiliates terminates any Transferred Employee without cause within 12
months following the Closing Date, the Purchaser or its Affiliates shall, subject to such Transferred Employee’s execution of a general release of claims, pay such terminated Transferred 

  
 -38- 

 
Employee an amount equal to their applicable Business Employee Severance Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser shall have no liability for any severance, separation or termination
amounts payable to any Business Employee who does not become a Transferred Employee. To the extent that the Purchaser and its Affiliates do not extend an offer of employment to any Scheduled Business Employee and such employee is terminated by the
Seller Management Co. within six months after Closing Date, Seller and the Seller Management Co. shall take commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a general release of claims from such terminated Business Employee (which efforts shall consist of
Seller Management Co. offering a commercially reasonable severance package to such Business Employee), which shall include, among other terms, a release of claims against Purchaser and its Affiliates. For purposes of eligibility to participate,
vesting and calculation of vacation or severance benefit entitlements (but not for purposes of defined benefit pension accrual or post-employment retiree welfare benefits) with respect to the benefit plans, programs, arrangements, policies and
practices maintained by Purchaser or its Affiliates providing benefits to any Transferred Employee, each Transferred Employee’s years of service with Seller, Seller Management Co. or their Affiliates (or any predecessor employer of an employee
of Seller, Seller Management Co. or their Affiliates, to the extent service with such predecessor employer is recognized by the Seller, Seller Management Co. or their Affiliates as of the date of this Agreement) prior to the Closing shall be treated
as service with Purchaser or its Affiliates; provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to the extent (A) that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits for the same period of service or (B) that such
service is not recognized by Seller, Seller Management Co. or their Affiliates, as applicable, under any applicable Benefit Plan in which the Transferred Employee was eligible to participate prior to the Closing. 

(c)    Seller, Seller Management Co., and their respective Affiliates will pay any transaction, change in control, or
similar bonus payments to Transferred Employees pursuant to the same general terms and conditions and on the same payment timing that they pay transaction, change in control, or similar bonus payments to similarly situated Business Employees who do
not become Transferred Employees. 
 (d)    For a period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the 18 month
anniversary thereof, Seller, Seller Management Co., and their respective Affiliates shall not directly or indirectly, initiate discussions concerning the employment or engagement of, recruit, or otherwise solicit for hire or other engagement any
Transferred Employee. In addition, during such period, Seller, Seller Management Co., and their respective Affiliates shall not contact any Transferred Employee for the purpose of leaving employment with Purchaser and its Affiliates. The foregoing
will not prevent (i) the placement of general advertisements that are not specifically targeted towards Transferred Employees or inquiries from recruiting agencies not made at the direction of Seller, Seller Management Co. or any of their
Affiliates, or (ii) the hiring of any Transferred Employee who responds to any such advertisement or inquiry, or who otherwise initiates contact with Seller, Seller Management Co. or its Affiliate regarding prospective employment or engagement
without having first been encouraged to do so by Seller, Seller Management Co. or its Affiliate. 
 (e)    No provision
in this Section 5.12 or otherwise in this Agreement, whether express or implied, will (i) create any third-party beneficiary or other rights in any employee or former employee of the Seller, Seller Management Co., the
Company Group or any of their 

  
 -39- 

 
respective Affiliates (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) or any other Person; (ii) create any rights to continued employment with Seller Management Co., the Purchaser or either
of their respective Affiliates, or in any way limit the ability of the Seller, Seller Management Co., the Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates to terminate the employment of any individual at any time and for any reason;
(iii) constitute or be deemed to constitute an amendment to any employee benefit plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement sponsored or maintained by the Purchaser, the Seller, Seller Management Co. or any of their Affiliates; or
(iv) result in the assumption or transfer, in whole or in part, of any Benefit Plan, or any liability or obligation whatsoever thereunder, or with respect thereto, by or to the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates. 

Section 5.13    Form S-3. Prior to the Closing, Parent shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to not take any action, or fail to take any action, which action or failure would reasonably be expected to cause Parent to be ineligible to file a Registration Statement on Form
S-3 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor form). 

Section 5.14    Bonds, Letters of Credit and Guarantees. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Seller has the
right to terminate any of the bonds, letters of credit and guarantees provided by it or its Affiliates (other than the Company Group Members) for the benefit of the Company Group Members, including those listed on Schedule 3.30, and
Purchaser Parties shall be responsible, at Purchaser Parties’ sole cost and expense, to cause, at Closing, the same to be released (and evidence thereof reasonably acceptable to Seller to be provided by Purchaser Parties to Seller at Closing)
and, if applicable, replaced, at the Closing. 
 Section 5.15    Officers &
Directors. 
 (a)    Parent shall not, and shall cause each Company Group Member not to, amend, repeal or otherwise
modify the Organizational Documents of Parent or any Company Group Member or manage Parent or the Company Group in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who at and at any time prior to the Closing a director,
officer or manager of any Company Group Member (the “D&O Indemnified Parties”). 
 (b)    The
Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that a D&O Indemnified Party may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by Persons other than the Company Group (collectively, the “Other
Indemnitors”). Following the Closing, the Company Group (i) shall be the indemnitors of first resort (i.e., their respective obligations to any D&O Indemnified Party hereunder are primary and any obligation of any Other Indemnitor
to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by any D&O Indemnified Party shall be secondary to Parent and the Company Group) with regard to matters arising from the affairs of the Company
Group, (ii) shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by such D&O Indemnified Party in accordance with the applicable Organizational Documents of any Company Group Member as in effect as of the Closing and to the
extent permitted under applicable Law and (iii) irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Other Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Other Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect
thereof. The Parties further agree that no advancement or payment by the Other Indemnitors on behalf of any D&O Indemnified Party with respect to any claim for which such D&O Indemnified Party has sought indemnification from the Company
Group shall affect the foregoing and the Other Indemnitors 

  
 -40- 

 
shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such D&O Indemnified Party against the Company Group.
The Other Indemnitors are express third-party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 5.15(b). The provisions of Section 5.15 are intended to be for the benefit of each D&O Indemnified
Party, his or her heirs and his or her representatives. 
 Section 5.16    Reimbursement of Certain
Expenses. At the Closing, the Purchaser Parties shall pay Seller (a) $10,000,000 in connection with the Advisor Expenses and (b) $10,000,000 in connection with the Employment Payments. 

Section 5.17    Transition Services Agreement. The Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts following
the Execution Date to negotiate (and execute at Closing) a customary transition services agreement (the “Transition Services Agreement”) by and between Purchaser (or one of its Affiliates) and Seller (or one of its Affiliates) in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and Seller relating to the continuation of certain services for a period not to exceed three months following Closing. If such Transition Services Agreement is not executed prior to Closing,
the Parties shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to execute the Transition Services Agreement as soon as possible after Closing. 

Section 5.18    Eagle Point Member LLC. Prior to Closing, with an effective date of March 31, 2021,
Seller shall cause the Company Group to make a valid election on Internal Revenue Service Form 8832 to change Eagle Point Member’s tax classification from corporation to disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, within the
meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3(a) (such change in tax classification, the “Conversion”), and Seller will provide a copy thereof to Purchaser. As a result of the
Conversion, Eagle Point’s tax classification will change from partnership to disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3(a),
with an effective date of March 31, 2021.

Section 8.1    Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to Closing: 

(a)    by the mutual prior written consent of the Parties; or 

(b)    by either Party if Closing has not occurred on or before the Outside Date; 

provided, however, that no Party shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement under Section 8.1(b) if such
Party is then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, which breach would, individually or in the aggregate, give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in
Section 6.1 or Section 6.2, as applicable. 

Section 8.2    Effect of Termination. 

(a)    If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, this Agreement shall become void
and of no further force or effect (except for the provisions of Section 3.6, Section 4.6, Section 5.1(d), Section 5.3,
Section 5.11, Article 8, Article 11, and Appendix A, which shall continue in full force and effect). 

(b)    In the event that (i) all conditions precedent to the obligations of Seller set forth in
Section 6.1 have been satisfied or waived by Seller (or would have been satisfied except for the breach or failure of any of Seller’s representations, warranties, or covenants hereunder and except for any such
conditions that by their nature may only be satisfied at or in connection with the occurrence of Closing) and (ii) the Closing has not occurred solely as a result of the material breach or failure of Seller’s representations, warranties,
or covenants hereunder, including, if and when required, Seller’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder at Closing (including, for the avoidance of doubt, if Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to
Section 8.1(b) and at the time of termination, such a material breach or failure by Seller has occurred and is continuing), then Purchaser shall promptly elect in writing, as the sole and exclusive remedy of the Purchaser
Group against any member of the Seller Group for the failure to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder at Closing, to either (A) exercise its right to require Seller’s specific performance of this Agreement as provided in
Section 11.16, or (B) terminate this Agreement and receive Three Hundred Million Dollars ($300,000,000) from Seller for the sole account and use of Purchaser, as liquidated damages, and Seller shall deliver such amount
to Purchaser, in immediately available funds, no later than three Business Days after the date of such termination. If Purchaser elects the remedy of specific performance contemplated by clause (A) but such remedy is not awarded by courts of
competent jurisdiction, the Purchaser shall be entitled to the remedy contemplated by clause (B), in each case, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Parties agree that specific performance is a remedy expressly
negotiated by the Parties and that Purchaser shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with seeking specific performance as a remedy as described in this Section 8.2(b). The remedy elected
and ultimately awarded under this Section 8.2(b) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to Purchaser for Seller’s breach or failure of Seller’s representations, warranties, or covenants hereunder,
including, if and when required, Seller’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated at Closing. 

  
 -46- 

 (c)    In the event that (i) all conditions precedent to the
obligations of Purchaser set forth in Section 6.2 have been satisfied or waived by Purchaser (or would have been satisfied except for the breach or failure of any of the Purchaser Parties’ representations, warranties,
or covenants hereunder and except for any such conditions that by their nature may only be satisfied at or in connection with the occurrence of Closing) and (ii) the Closing has not occurred solely as a result of the breach or failure of any of
the Purchaser Parties’ representations, warranties, or covenants hereunder, including, if and when required, the Purchaser Parties’ obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder at Closing (including, for the avoidance
of doubt, if Seller terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(b) and at the time of termination, such a material breach or failure by the Purchaser Parties has occurred and is continuing), then Seller shall promptly
elect in writing, as the sole and exclusive remedy of the Seller Group against any member of the Purchaser Group for the failure to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder at Closing, to either (A) exercise its right to require
Purchaser’s specific performance of this Agreement as provided in Section 11.16, or (B) terminate this Agreement and receive Three Hundred Million Dollars ($300,000,000) from the Purchaser Parties for the sole
account and use of Seller, as liquidated damages, and the Purchaser Parties shall deliver such amount to Seller, in immediately available funds, no later than three Business Days after the date of such termination. If Seller elects the remedy of
specific performance contemplated by clause (A) but such remedy is not awarded by courts of competent jurisdiction, Seller shall be entitled to the remedy contemplated by clause (B), in each case, in accordance with the terms and conditions set
forth herein. The Parties agree that specific performance is a remedy expressly negotiated by the Parties and that Seller shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with seeking specific performance as a remedy as
described in this Section 8.2(c). The remedy elected and ultimately awarded under this Section 8.2(c) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to Seller for Purchaser’s breach or
failure of Purchaser’s representations, warranties, or covenants hereunder, including, if and when required, Purchaser’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated at Closing. 

(d)    SELLER AND PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT (I) IF SELLER RECEIVES LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IN ACCORDANCE WITH
SECTION 8.2(C), OR (II) PURCHASER RECEIVES LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 8.2(B), THEN (A) ACTUAL DAMAGES UPON THE EVENT OF A TERMINATION ARE DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN WITH ANY CERTAINTY, (B) SUCH LIQUIDATED
DAMAGES AMOUNT IS A FAIR AND REASONABLE ESTIMATE BY THE PARTIES OF SUCH AGGREGATE ACTUAL DAMAGES, AND (C) SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES DO NOT CONSTITUTE A PENALTY. 

(e)    Subject to Section 8.2(b) and Section 8.2(c), upon the
termination of this Agreement in accordance with the express terms of this Article 8, Seller and the Company Group shall be free immediately to enjoy all rights of ownership of the Company Group and the Assets and to sell, transfer, encumber
or otherwise dispose of the Assets to any Person without any restriction under this Agreement. Following termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 8, Purchaser shall promptly (but in any event no more than ten
(10) Business Days after the termination of this Agreement) return or destroy all agreements, Contracts, instruments, books, 

  
 -47- 

 
records, materials and other information regarding Seller or its Affiliates (including the Company Group and the Assets) provided to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective
Representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 (f)    Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, each Party acknowledges and agrees that if the Closing fails to occur for any reason, such Party’s sole and exclusive remedy against the other Party shall be to exercise an applicable remedy set forth in this
Article 8.

Section 11.16, SELLER (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ON BEHALF OF THE SELLER GROUP) AND PURCHASER (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ON BEHALF OF THE PURCHASER GROUP) EACH RELEASE, REMISE, AND FOREVER DISCHARGE THE OTHER AND ITS AFFILIATES
AND ALL SUCH PARTIES’ OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ADVISORS, AND OTHER REPRESENTATIVES FROM ANY AND ALL SUITS, LEGAL OR ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, DAMAGES, LOSSES, COSTS, LIABILITIES, INTEREST, OR CAUSES OF ACTION

MAINTAINED BY SELLER OR ANY PERSON WHO IS AN AFFILIATE OF SELLER, EVEN IF CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER SOLE, JOINT, OR CONCURRENT), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHER LEGAL FAULT OF ANY RELEASED PERSON. 

(d)    The indemnity of each Party provided in this Section 9.1 shall be for the benefit of and
extend to each Person included in the Seller Group and the Purchaser Group, as applicable. Any claim for indemnity under this Section 9.1 by any Third Party must be brought and administered by a Party to this Agreement. No
Indemnified Person (including any Person within the Seller Group and the Purchaser Group) other than the Parties shall have any rights against Seller or Purchaser under the terms of this Section 9.1 except as may be exercised on its behalf by
Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 9.1(d). The Parties may elect to exercise or not exercise indemnification rights under this Section 9.1 on behalf of the other

not whether a breach has occurred), all materiality qualifications (including “Seller Material Adverse Effect”) contained in the Seller Surviving Representations or such certificate related thereto shall be disregarded. For the
avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.1(e) shall not be deemed to disregard any dollar amounts or monetary thresholds set forth in any representation or warranty in Article 3 (and, for the avoidance of doubt, in no
event shall “Material Contract” be read to mean “Contract”). 

  
 -49- 

 Section 9.2    Indemnity Actions. All claims for
indemnification under Section 9.1 shall be asserted and resolved as follows: 
 (a)    For
purposes hereof, (i) the term “Indemnifying Person” when used in connection with particular Damages shall mean the Person or Persons having an obligation to indemnify another Person or Persons with respect to such Damages
pursuant to this Article 9 and (ii) the term “Indemnified Person” when used in connection with particular Damages shall mean the Person or Persons having the right to be indemnified with respect to such Damages by
another Person or Persons pursuant to this Article 9. 
 (b)    To make a claim for indemnification under
Section 9.1, an Indemnified Person shall notify the Indemnifying Person of its claim under this Section 9.2 including the specific details of and specific basis under this Agreement for its claim
(the “Claim Notice”). In the event that the claim for indemnification is based upon a claim by a Third Party against the Indemnified Person (a “Third Person Claim”), the Indemnified Person shall provide its Claim
Notice promptly after the Indemnified Person has actual knowledge of the Third Person Claim and shall enclose a copy of all papers (if any) served with respect to the Third Person Claim; provided that the failure of any Indemnified Person to
give notice of a Third Person Claim as provided in this Section 9.2 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations under Section 9.1 except to the extent such failure results in
insufficient time being available to permit the Indemnifying Person to effectively defend against the Third Person Claim or otherwise materially prejudices the Indemnifying Person’s ability to defend against the Third Person Claim. In the event
that the claim for indemnification is based upon an inaccuracy or breach of a representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement, the Claim Notice shall specify the representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement that was inaccurate or breached. 

(c)    In the case of a claim for indemnification based upon a Third Person Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall have 30
days from its receipt of the Claim Notice to notify the Indemnified Person whether it admits or denies its obligation to defend the Indemnified Person against such Third Person Claim under this Article 9. If the Indemnifying Person does not
notify the Indemnified Person within such 30-day period whether the Indemnifying Person admits or denies its obligation to defend the Indemnified Person, it shall be conclusively deemed to have denied such
indemnification obligation hereunder. The Indemnified Person is authorized, prior to and during such 30-day period, to file any motion, answer, or other pleading that it shall deem necessary or appropriate to
protect its interests or those of the Indemnifying Person and that is not prejudicial to the Indemnifying Person. 

(d)    If the Indemnifying Person admits its obligation, it shall have the right and obligation to diligently defend, at
its sole cost and expense, the Third Person Claim; provided, that the Seller shall not be entitled to defend any Third Person Claim that is a Tax Proceeding to the extent that such Third Person Claim could reasonably be expected to have an
adverse impact on Purchaser or any of its Affiliates following the Closing that is not fully indemnified under this Agreement, but the Seller may, at its own expense, reasonably participate in the defense of such Third Person Claim to the extent the
resolution of such Third Person Claim could reasonably result in liability for the Seller under this Agreement and in such case Purchaser shall not, without the written consent of Seller, settle such Third Person Claim (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnifying Person shall have full control of such 

  
 -50- 

 
defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof. If requested by the Indemnifying Person, the Indemnified Person agrees to cooperate in contesting any Third Person Claim
that the Indemnifying Person elects to contest (provided, however, that the Indemnified Person shall not be required to bring any counterclaim or cross-complaint against any Person). The Indemnified Person may at its own expense
participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third Person Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Person pursuant to this Section 9.2(c). An Indemnifying Person shall not, without the written consent of
the Indemnified Person, settle any Third Person Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect thereto that (i) does not result in a final resolution of the Indemnified Person’s liability with respect to the Third Person Claim
(including, in the case of a settlement, an unconditional written release of the Indemnified Person), (ii) may materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Person (other than as a result of money damages covered by the indemnity), (iii) requires
a non-monetary commitment by the Indemnified Person, including compliance with an injunction or other equitable relief, (iv) includes any admission of guilt or culpability, or (v) relates to the payment or calculation of royalties,
overriding royalties or material Taxes. 
 (e)    If the Indemnifying Person does not admit its obligation or admits its
obligation but fails to diligently defend or settle the Third Person Claim, then the Indemnified Person shall have the right to defend against the Third Person Claim (at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Person, if the Indemnified Person
is entitled to indemnification hereunder) with counsel of the Indemnified Person’s choosing, subject to the right of the Indemnifying Person to admit its obligation and assume the defense of the Third Person Claim at any time prior to
settlement or final determination thereof. If the Indemnifying Person has not yet admitted its obligation to provide indemnification with respect to a Third Person Claim, the Indemnified Person shall send written notice to the Indemnifying Person of
any proposed settlement and the Indemnifying Person shall have the option for ten days following receipt of such notice to (i) admit in writing its obligation to provide indemnification with respect to the Third Person Claim and (ii) if
its obligation is so admitted, assume the defense of the Third Person Claim, including the power to reject, in its reasonable judgment, the proposed settlement. If the Indemnified Person settles any Third Person Claim over the objection of the
Indemnifying Person after the Indemnifying Person has timely admitted its obligation in writing and assumed the defense of a Third Person Claim that the Indemnifying Person is entitled to control, the Indemnified Person shall be deemed to have
waived any right to indemnity therefor. 
 (f)    In the case of a claim for indemnification not based upon a Third
Person Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall have 30 days from its receipt of the Claim Notice to (i) cure the Damages complained of, (ii) admit its obligation to provide indemnification with respect to such Damages, or (iii) dispute
the claim for such indemnification. If the Indemnifying Person does not notify the Indemnified Person within such 30-day period that it has cured the Damages or that it disputes the claim for such
indemnification, the Indemnifying Person shall be deemed to have disputed such claim for indemnification. 

Section 9.3    Limitation on Actions. 

(a)    The representations and warranties of the Parties in Article 3 and Article 4 and the covenants and
agreements of the Parties in Article 5 and the corresponding representations and warranties confirmed in the certificates delivered at Closing pursuant to Section 7.2(c) and

  
 -51- 

 
Section 7.3(c), as applicable, shall terminate at Closing, except that (i) the Seller Fundamental Representations, the representations and warranties of Seller in
Section 3.8, Section 3.15, Section 3.24 and Section 3.27 (the foregoing representations and warranties of Seller, collectively, the “Seller Surviving
Representations”) and the Purchaser Party Fundamental Representations shall survive the Closing for a period of two years, and (ii) the covenants and agreements, as applicable, in Section 5.1(d),
Section 5.3 and Section 5.6 shall survive the Closing for a period of one year. The remainder of this Agreement (including the disclaimers and acknowledgments in
Section 3.42 and Section 4.10) shall survive the Closing without time limit except (A) as may otherwise be expressly provided herein, (B) for covenants and agreements set forth in this
Agreement that, by their terms, are to be completed prior to Closing, which shall only survive for one year after the Closing Date, and (C) all other covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, which shall survive until fully
satisfied and/or performed in accordance with the terms hereof (unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement). Representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements shall be of no further force and effect after the date of their
expiration, provided that there shall be no termination of any bona fide claim asserted pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such a representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement prior to its expiration date. 

(b)    The indemnities in Section 9.1(a)(i), Section 9.1(a)(ii),
Section 9.1(b)(i), and Section 9.1(b)(ii) shall terminate as of the termination date of each respective representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement that is subject to indemnification
thereunder, except in each case as to matters for which a specific written claim for indemnity has been delivered to the Indemnifying Person on or before such termination date. 

(c)    Seller shall not have any liability for any indemnification under
Section 9.1(b)(ii) with respect to Section 3.15, Section 3.24 and Section 3.27 for any individual Damage unless the amount with
respect to such Damage exceeds $100,000 (the “Individual Indemnity Threshold”). 
 (d)    Seller shall
not have any liability for any indemnification under Section 9.1(b)(ii) (other than with respect to the Seller Fundamental Representations, Section 3.8, and Section 3.24)
until and unless the aggregate amount of the liability for all Damages that exceed the Individual Indemnity Threshold, if applicable, and for which Claim Notices are delivered by Purchaser exceeds $50,000,000, and then only to the extent such
Damages exceed $50,000,000. 
 (e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement,
Seller shall not be required to indemnify the Purchaser Group under this Article 9 for aggregate Damages in excess of the Indemnity Holdback. 

(f)    The amount of any Damages for which an Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnity under this Article 9
shall be reduced by the amount of insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Person or its Affiliates with respect to such Damages (net of any collection costs, and excluding the proceeds of any insurance policy issued or underwritten
by the Indemnified Person or its Affiliates). 
 (g)    In no event shall any Indemnified Person be entitled to
duplicate compensation with respect to the same Damage, liability, loss, cost, expense, claim, award, or judgment under more than one provision of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. 

  
 -52- 

 Section 9.4    Indemnity Holdback. 

(a)    In order to provide security for Seller’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement, on the Closing
Date, Purchaser shall deposit into the Indemnity Holdback Escrow Account 1,875,000 shares of Parent Common Stock (such shares of Parent Common Stock, the “Indemnity Holdback Shares”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Indemnity
Holdback Shares represent a deduction from, and are not in addition to, the Purchase Price paid by Purchaser to Seller on the Closing Date. The Indemnity Holdback shall be held by the Escrow Agent and distributed by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 9.4 and an escrow agreement that Purchaser and Seller shall execute and deliver at Closing to the Escrow Agent and which shall be in customary form and contain terms and provisions consistent with
this Section 9.4 and substantially consistent with Exhibit C, subject to any modifications mutually agreed by the Parties prior to Closing (the “Indemnity Holdback Escrow Agreement”). 

(b)    Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, at any time from and after the registration of the
shares of Parent Common Stock included in the Indemnity Holdback Shares until the full disbursement of the Indemnity Holdback in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.4 and the Indemnity Holdback Escrow Agreement,
Seller shall be entitled to instruct the Escrow Agent to sell all or any portion of the Indemnity Holdback Shares, including pursuant to a registered offering of such securities effected in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement (such
sale, a “Seller Directed Sale”), and the cash proceeds of any such Seller Directed Sale shall become part of the Indemnity Holdback (any such cash proceeds, “Indemnity Holdback Cash”). Following any such Seller
Directed Sale, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Per Share Value shall no longer be relevant to addressing claims relating to the Indemnity Holdback to the extent settled in Indemnity Holdback Cash. If the Indemnity
Holdback consists of Indemnity Holdback Cash and Indemnity Holdback Shares, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, claims, if any, shall be satisfied first out of Indemnity Holdback Cash and then out of the Indemnity Holdback
Shares. 
 (c)    Subject to the limitations set out in this Article 9, with respect to each indemnification
claim asserted by Purchaser against Seller pursuant to this Article 9, during the period from and after the Closing Date until the second (2nd) annual anniversary of the Closing Date (the
“Holdback Period”), upon final resolution or determination of such an indemnity claim in favor of Purchaser by the Parties, Purchaser and Seller shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse to Purchaser the amount set forth
in such joint instruction, which will be that portion of the Indemnity Holdback with a total value equal to the amount that would satisfy such finally resolved or determined indemnity claim, with the number of Indemnity Holdback Shares to be
disbursed (if any) determined by valuing such Indemnity Holdback Shares at the Per Share Value. 
 (d)    On the first
Business Day following the date that is one (1) year after the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to disburse to Seller the Indemnity Holdback then-remaining, save and except for an
amount equal to (i) $150,000,000 (valuing any Indemnity Holdback Shares at the Per Share Value as of such date) plus (ii) the aggregate amount of all unsatisfied indemnity claims made against Seller under
Section 9.1 and delivered to Seller in accordance with this Agreement prior to such date, which shall remain in the Escrow Account until the resolution of each particular indemnity claim, at which time such amounts will be
transferred to Seller or Purchaser in accordance with the 

  
 -53- 

 
resolution of each such indemnity claim. If the Indemnity Holdback consists of Indemnity Holdback Cash and Indemnity Holdback Shares, the distribution pursuant to this
Section 9.4(d) shall be satisfied first out of Indemnity Holdback Shares and then out of the Indemnity Holdback Cash. The amount of Indemnity Holdback Shares (if any) distributed pursuant to this
Section 9.4(d) shall be determined by valuing such Indemnity Holdback at the Per Share Value. In no event shall Seller be required to deposit additional shares of Parent Common Stock into the Indemnity Holdback Escrow
Account on account of any change in the price of shares of Parent Common Stock. 
 (e)    Upon the expiration of the
Holdback Period, Seller shall, subject to the remainder of this sentence, be entitled to receive the balance of the Indemnity Holdback as of such time, and within five Business Days after such date, Seller and Purchaser shall execute and deliver to
the Escrow Agent joint written instructions to distribute such Indemnity Holdback to Seller pursuant to the terms of the Indemnity Holdback Escrow Agreement; provided, however, that Seller shall not be entitled to, and the Escrow Agent
shall retain, any amounts necessary to satisfy any unresolved indemnity claims that have been timely delivered by Purchaser during the Holdback Period (which amounts shall remain in the Indemnity Holdback Escrow Account until such indemnity claims
are finally resolved by the Parties). If the Indemnity Holdback consists of Indemnity Holdback Cash and Indemnity Holdback Shares, the distribution pursuant to this Section 9.4(e) shall be satisfied first out of Indemnity
Holdback Shares and then out of the Indemnity Holdback Cash. The amount of Indemnity Holdback Shares (if any) distributed pursuant to this Section 9.4(e) shall be determined by valuing such Indemnity Holdback at the Per
Share Value. If there are any portions of the Indemnity Holdback remaining in escrow after the resolution of all previously outstanding indemnity claims, then Seller and Purchaser shall promptly jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to release the
remaining account balance to Seller (but in no event more than five Business Days thereafter). The amount of Indemnity Holdback Shares distributed pursuant to this Section 9.4(e) (if any) shall be determined by valuing such
Indemnity Holdback Shares at the Per Share Value. 
 (f)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no
fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be disbursed from the Indemnity Holdback Escrow Account, and, to the extent that any such fractional security would be required to be so disbursed but for this sentence, such fractional share shall be
rounded up or down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock. 
 (g)    Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the sole and exclusive recourse of the Purchaser Group for any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Seller pursuant to this Agreement or any other post-Closing liability of Seller pursuant to this Agreement
(including any indemnity obligation), absent Fraud, is limited to disbursements that may be made from the Indemnity Holdback Escrow Account. At and after such time as the Indemnity Holdback Escrow Account and Indemnity Holdback are exhausted or
released, the Purchaser Group shall not be entitled to seek indemnity under this Agreement, and the Purchaser Group shall have no recourse against Seller, any of its Affiliates or any other member of the Seller Group for any Damages or otherwise in
respect of any claim for indemnification or otherwise under this Agreement, other than with respect to Fraud.

 ARTICLE 10 

TAX MATTERS 

Section 10.1    Tax Returns. Seller shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) (i) the Tax Return of the
Texas franchise tax unitary group of which DE3 Operating, LLC is the reporting entity and (ii) the U.S. federal income Tax Returns (and related Schedules K-1, if applicable) of Eagle Point and Eagle Point
Member, in each case, for (x) the Tax period ending December 31, 2020 and (y) the short Tax period beginning January 1, 2021. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required
by applicable Law). Reasonably in advance of (and at least 30 days before the due date for) filing such Tax Returns, Seller shall deliver a draft of each Tax Return described in this Section 10.1, together with all
supporting documentation and workpapers, to Purchaser for its review and comment. Purchaser will cause such Tax Return (as revised to incorporate Purchaser’s reasonable comments) to be timely filed, provide a copy thereof to Seller, and pay (or
cause to be paid) all Taxes owed with respect to thereto. 
 Section 10.2    Tax Refunds. To the extent that
the Company Group actually receives a refund within two years following the Closing Date with respect to Taxes paid by the Company Group prior to Closing Date (excluding any such refund or credit to the extent it is attributable to any loss arising
in a taxable year (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date that is carried back to a taxable year (or a portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date) (each a “Pre-Closing
Refund”), such Pre-Closing Refund shall be for the account of Seller to extent the Pre-Closing Refund combined with all prior
Pre-Closing Refunds is greater than the amount of Taxes owed with respect to the Tax Returns in described Section 10.1. Purchaser shall forward, and shall cause its Affiliates to
forward, to Seller any such excess Pre-Closing Refund that is for Seller’s account pursuant to this Section 10.2 (net of (x) any Taxes payable by Purchaser or any of its
Affiliates (including any member of the Company Group) attributable to such Pre-Closing Refund and (y) any expenses incurred by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in obtaining such amounts) within 30 days
after such Pre-Closing Refund is received. If any amount actually paid to Seller pursuant to this Section 10.2 is subsequently challenged successfully by any Governmental Authority,
Seller shall repay to Purchaser such amount (together with any interest and penalties assessed by such Governmental Authority in respect of such amount); provided, that such repayment obligation shall only survive for a period of two years after the
Closing Date. To the extent the amount of Taxes owed with respect to the Tax Returns in described Section 10.1 exceeds the aggregate amount of Pre-Closing Refunds, such excess shall
be payable by Seller on the two year anniversary of the Closing Date solely through recovery from the Indemnity Holdback. 

Section 10.3    Tax Cooperation. Purchaser and Seller shall reasonably cooperate as and to the extent
reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with obtaining any Pre-Closing Refund, the filing of Tax Returns and any audit, litigation or other proceeding (each a “Tax Proceeding”)
with respect to Taxes imposed on or with respect to the assets, operations or activities of the Company Group. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this agreement, Purchaser shall (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any
available Pre-Closing Refund relating to Texas sales and use taxes for (1) April 2018 through September 2019 (the relevant ongoing proceedings which are described on Schedule 3.8 and
(2) October 2019 through December 2020 (which sales and use tax refund review is expected to commence, as described in Schedule 5.4) and (ii) have the right to make (or cause to be made) an election under Section 6226 of the
Code with respect to any Tax Proceeding relating to Eagle Point, and the Seller will take such actions (and cause its Affiliates to take such actions) as are reasonably requested by the Purchaser to make such election. 

  
 -55- 

 Section 10.4    Characterization of Certain Payments. The
Parties agree that any payments made pursuant to this Article 10 shall be treated for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price unless otherwise required by Law. 

Section 10.5    Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any sales, use,
transfer, real property transfer, registration, documentary, stamp, value added or similar Taxes and related fees and costs imposed on or payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”)
shall be borne by 50% by Seller and 50% by Purchaser. The Party responsible under applicable Law for filing the Tax Returns with respect to any such Transfer Taxes shall prepare and timely file such Tax Returns, promptly provide a copy of such Tax
Return to the other Party, and pay such Transfer Taxes. Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate in good faith to minimize, to the extent permissible under applicable Law, the amount of any such Transfer
Taxes and timely prepare and file any Tax Returns or other filings relating to such Transfer Taxes, including any claim for exemption or exclusion from the application or imposition of any Transfer Taxes. One half of the amount of any Transfer Taxes
due with respect to any Tax Return to be filed under this Section 10.5 shall be paid by the other Party to the paying Party at least two (2) Business Days prior to the due date for the filing of such Tax Returns. 

Section 10.6    Termination of Tax Agreements. Any Tax sharing, Tax indemnity, Tax receivable, Tax allocation
or similar Contract (other than any Customary Agreement) involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be terminated prior to the Closing Date and, after the Closing, none of the Purchaser, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of
their respective Affiliates shall be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder. 
 Section 10.7    Purchase
Price Allocation. Purchaser and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to agree, within 60 days after the Closing Date, to an allocation of the Purchase Price (and any other item included in computing consideration for applicable U.S.
federal (and applicable state and local) for income tax purposes to the extent known at such time) among the assets of the members of the Company Group (provided, that any portion of the consideration allocable to the stock of DE Finance will not be
further allocated among the assets of DE Finance), in each case, in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code, as applicable, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Tax Allocation”). If Seller and Purchaser
reach an agreement with respect to the Tax Allocation, (i) Purchaser and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to update the Tax Allocation in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code following any adjustment to the Purchase

performed in accordance with their specific terms, irreparable Damage would occur, no adequate remedy at Law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine, and the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof and
immediate injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, in addition to any other remedy available at law or in equity. Neither Party shall be required to provide any bond or other security in
connection with seeking any specific performance or other equitable remedy to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 11.16.

 Section 2.2
Underwritten Shelf Offering Requests. 
 (a) In the event that any Apollo Holder, Quantum Holder or group of Holders that includes an

 4 

 
Underwritten Offering and reasonably expects gross proceeds of at least $500 million from such Underwritten Offering (including proceeds attributable to any Registrable Securities included
in such Underwritten Offering by any Shelf Piggybacking Holders), the Company shall, at the request (a “Shelf Underwritten Offering Request”) of such Holder or Holders (in such capacity, a “Requesting Holder”),
enter into an underwriting agreement in a form as is customary in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Company with the underwriter or underwriters selected pursuant to Section 2.2(d) and shall take all such other
reasonable actions as are requested by the Managing Underwriter of such Underwritten Offering and/or the Requesting Holders in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities and, subject to
Section 2.2(c), the Registrable Securities requested to be included by any Shelf Piggybacking Holder (a “Shelf Underwritten Offering”); provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to
facilitate or participate in more than (i) three Shelf Underwritten Offerings during any 12-month period (one on behalf of any Apollo Holders acting as Requesting Holders, one on behalf of any Quantum
Holders acting as Requesting Holders, and one on behalf of either a Quantum Holder or Apollo Holder acting as Requesting Holders, and no more than one Shelf Underwritten Offering in any 90-day period) or
(ii) six Shelf Underwritten Offerings in the aggregate during the term of this Agreement. 
 (b) If the Company receives a Shelf Underwritten Offering
Request, it will give written notice of such proposed Shelf Underwritten Offering to each Holder (other than the Requesting Holder) that, together with such Holder’s Affiliates, holds at least the Minimum Number of Registrable Securities, which
notice shall be held in strict confidence by such Holders and shall include the anticipated filing date of the related Underwritten Offering Filing and, if known, the number of shares of Company Common Stock that are proposed to be included in such
Shelf Underwritten Offering, and of such Holders’ rights under this Section 2.2(b). Such notice shall be given promptly (and in any event at least five Business Days before the filing of the Underwritten Offering
Filing or two Business Days before the filing of the Underwritten Offering Filing in connection with a bought or overnight Underwritten Offering or a Shelf Underwritten Offering Request delivered to the Company within one Business Day of the date of
this Agreement); provided, that if the Shelf Underwritten Offering is a bought or overnight Underwritten Offering and the Managing Underwriter advises the Company and the Requesting Holder that the giving of notice pursuant to this
Section 2.2(b) would adversely affect the offering, no such notice shall be required (and such Holders shall have no right to include Registrable Securities in such bought or overnight Underwritten Offering); and
provided further, that the Company shall not so notify any such other Holder that has notified the Company (and not revoked such notice) requesting that such Holder not receive notice from the Company of any proposed Shelf Underwritten
Offering. Each such Holder shall then have four Business Days (or one Business Day in the case of a bought or overnight Underwritten Offering or a Shelf Underwritten Offering Request delivered to the Company within one Business Day of the date of
this Agreement) after the date on which the Holders received notice pursuant to this Section 2.2(b) to request inclusion of Registrable Securities in the Shelf Underwritten Offering (which request shall specify the maximum
number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder and such other information as is reasonably required to effect the inclusion of such Registrable Securities) (any such Holder making such request, a “Shelf
Piggybacking Holder”). If no request for inclusion from a Holder is received within such period, such Holder shall have no further right to participate in such Shelf Underwritten Offering. 

(c) If the Managing Underwriter of the Shelf Underwritten Offering shall inform the Company and the Requesting Holders in writing, with a copy to be provided
upon request to any Shelf Piggybacking Holder, of its belief that the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Shelf Underwritten Offering by the Shelf Piggybacking Holders (and any other shares of Company Common Stock
requested to be included by any other Persons having registration rights with respect to such offering), when added to the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be offered by the Requesting Holders, would materially adversely affect such
offering, then the Company shall include in the applicable Underwritten Offering Filing, to the extent of the total number of Registrable Securities that the Company is so advised can be sold in such Shelf Underwritten Offering without so materially
adversely affecting such offering (the “Section 2.2 Maximum Number of Shares”), Registrable Securities in the following priority: 

(i) First, all Registrable Securities that the Requesting Holder and Shelf Piggybacking Holders requested to be included therein (the “Requesting
Holder and Shelf Piggybacking Holders Securities”) (pro rata among the Requesting Holders and Shelf Piggybacking Holders based on the number of Registrable Securities each requested to be included); and 

  
 5 

 (ii) Second, to the extent that the number of Requesting Holder and Shelf Piggybacking Holders Securities is
less than the Section 2.2 Maximum Number of Shares, the shares of Company Common Stock requested to be included by any other Persons having registration rights with respect to such offering, pro rata among such other Persons based on the
number of shares of Company Common Stock each requested to be included. 
 (d) The Company shall propose three or more nationally prominent firms of
investment bankers reasonably acceptable to the Requesting Holders to act as the Managing Underwriter or as other underwriters in connection with such Shelf Underwritten Offering from which the holders of more than 50% of the Registrable Securities
to be so offered shall select the Managing Underwriter and the other underwriters. The Requesting Holders shall determine the pricing of the Registrable Securities offered pursuant to any Shelf Underwritten Offering and the applicable underwriting
discounts and commissions and determine the timing of any such Shelf Underwritten Offering, subject to Section 2.3. 

Section 2.3 Delay and Suspension Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company may
(a) delay filing or effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or effecting a Shelf Underwritten Offering or (b) suspend the Holders’ use of any prospectus that is a part of a Shelf Registration
Statement upon written notice to each Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in such Shelf Registration Statement (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material non-public
information regarding the Company) (in which event such Holder shall discontinue sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement but may settle any then-contracted sales of Registrable Securities), in each case for a period
of up to 60 days, if the Board determines that (i) such delay or suspension is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders generally due to a pending financing or other transaction involving the Company, including a proposed sale
of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to a registration of Company Securities, (ii) such registration or offering would render the Company unable to comply with applicable securities laws or (iii) such registration offering would
require disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential (any such period, a “Suspension Period”); provided, however, that in no event shall any
Suspension Periods collectively exceed an aggregate of 120 days in any twelve-month period. For the purposes of calculating the number of days of one or more Suspension Periods under this Section 2.3, such number shall
include any number of days during the applicable period during which the Holders were obligated to discontinue their disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.6(b) of this Agreement. 

Section 2.4 Piggyback Registration Rights. 

(a) Subject to Section 2.4(c), if the Company at any time proposes to file an Underwritten Offering Filing for an Underwritten
Offering of shares of Company Common Stock for its own account or for the account of any other Persons who have or have been granted registration rights (a “Piggyback Underwritten Offering”), it will give written notice of such
Piggyback Underwritten Offering to each Holder that, together with such Holder’s Affiliates, holds at least the Minimum Number of Registrable Securities, which notice shall be held in strict confidence by such Holders and shall include the
anticipated filing date of the Underwritten Offering Filing and, if known, the number of shares of Company Common Stock that are proposed to be included in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering, and of such Holders’ rights under this
Section 2.4(a). Such notice shall be given promptly (and in any event at least five Business Days before the filing of the Underwritten Offering Filing or two Business Days before the filing of the Underwritten Offering
Filing in connection with a bought or overnight Underwritten Offering); provided, that if the Piggyback Underwritten Offering is a bought or overnight Underwritten Offering and the Managing Underwriter advises the Company that the giving of
notice pursuant to this Section 2.4(a) would adversely affect the offering, no such notice shall be required (and such Holders shall have no right to include Registrable Securities in such bought or overnight Underwritten
Offering). Each such Holder shall then have four Business Days (or one Business Day in the case of a bought or overnight Underwritten Offering) after the date on which the Holders received notice pursuant to this
Section 2.4(a) to request inclusion of Registrable Securities in the Piggyback Underwritten Offering (which request shall specify the maximum number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder and
such other information as is reasonably required to effect the inclusion of such Registrable Securities) (any such Holder making such request, a “Piggybacking Holder”). If no request for inclusion from a Holder is received within
such period, such Holder shall have no further right to participate in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering. Subject to Section 2.4(c), the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to include in the Piggyback
Underwritten Offering all Registrable Securities that the Company has been so requested to include by the Piggybacking Holders; provided, however, that if, at any time after giving written notice of a proposed Piggyback Underwritten Offering
pursuant to this Section 2.4(a) and prior to the execution of an underwriting agreement with respect thereto, the Company or such

other Persons who have or have been granted registration rights, as applicable, shall determine for any reason not to proceed with or to delay such Piggyback Underwritten Offering, the Company
shall give written notice of such determination to the Piggybacking Holders (which such Holders will hold in strict confidence) and (i) in the case of a determination not to proceed, shall be relieved of its obligation to include any
Registrable Securities in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering (but not from any obligation of the Company to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith), and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay, shall be permitted to delay
inclusion of any Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in including the shares of Company Common Stock to be sold for the Company’s account or for the account of such other Persons who have or have been granted registration
rights, as applicable. 
 (b) Each Holder shall have the right to withdraw its request for inclusion of its Registrable Securities in any Piggyback
Underwritten Offering at any time prior to the execution of an underwriting agreement with respect thereto by giving an Opt-Out Notice to the Company requesting that such Holder not receive notice from the
Company of any proposed Piggyback Underwritten Offering; provided, however, that such Holder may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an
Opt-Out Notice from a Holder (unless subsequently revoked), the Company shall not, and shall not be required to, deliver any notice to such Holder pursuant to this Section 2.4 and
such Holder shall no longer be entitled to participate in any Piggyback Underwritten Offering. 
 (c) If the Managing Underwriter of the Piggyback
Underwritten Offering shall inform the Company of its belief that the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering, when added to the number of shares of Company Common Stock proposed to be
offered by the Company or such other Persons who have or have been granted registration rights (and any other shares of Company Common Stock requested to be included by any other Persons having registration rights on parity with the Piggybacking
Holders with respect to such offering), would materially adversely affect such offering, then the Company shall include in such Piggyback Underwritten Offering, to the extent of the total number of securities which the Company is so advised can be
sold in such offering without so materially adversely affecting such offering (the “Section 2.4 Maximum Number of Shares”), shares of Company Common Stock in the following priority: 

(i) First, if the Piggyback Underwritten Offering is for the account of the Company, all shares of Company Common Stock that the Company proposes to include
for its own account (the “Company Securities”); and 
 (ii) Second, if the Piggyback Underwritten Offering is for the account of the
Company, to the extent that the number of Company Securities is less than the Section 2.4 Maximum Number of Shares, or if the Piggyback Underwritten Offering is for the account of any other Persons who have or have been granted registration
rights, the shares of Company Common Stock requested to be included by the Piggybacking Holders and holders of any other shares of Company Common Stock requested to be included by Persons having rights of registration on parity with the Piggybacking
Holders with respect to such offering, pro rata among the Piggybacking Holders and such other holders based on the number of shares of Company Common Stock each requested to be included. 

(d) The Company or other Persons who have or have been granted registration rights, as applicable, shall select the underwriters in any Piggyback Underwritten
Offering and shall determine the pricing of the shares of Company Common Stock offered pursuant to any Piggyback Underwritten Offering, the applicable underwriting discounts and commissions and the timing of any such Piggyback Underwritten Offering.

 Section 2.5 Participation in Underwritten Offerings. 

(a) In connection with any Underwritten Offering contemplated by Sections 2.2 or 2.4, the underwriting agreement into which each Selling Holder and the
Company shall enter into shall contain such representations, covenants, indemnities (subject to Article III) and other rights and obligations as are customary in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Company; provided that the
Company shall not be required to make any representations or warranties with respect to written information specifically provided by a Selling Holder for inclusion in the applicable Registration Statement. No Selling Holder shall be required to make
any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Selling Holder’s authority to enter into such underwriting agreement and to sell, and
its ownership of and title to, the securities being registered on its behalf, its intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law. 

  
 7 

 (b) Any participation by Holders in a Piggyback Underwritten Offering shall be in accordance with the plan
of distribution of the Company. 
 (c) In connection with any Piggyback Underwritten Offering in which any Holder includes Registrable Securities pursuant
to Section 2.4, such Holder agrees to (i) supply any information reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation of a Registration Statement and/or any other documents relating to such registered
offering and (ii) execute and deliver any agreements and instruments being executed by all holders on substantially the same terms reasonably requested by the Company or the Managing Underwriter, as applicable, to effectuate such registered
offering, including, without limitation, underwriting agreements (subject to Section 2.5(a)), custody agreements, lock-ups, “hold back” agreements pursuant to which such
Holder agrees not to sell or purchase any securities of the Company for the same period of time following the registered offering as is agreed to by the Company and the other participating holders, powers of attorney and questionnaires. 

(d) If the Company or Managing Underwriter, as applicable, requests that the Holders take any of the actions referred to in
Section 2.5(c), the Holders shall take such action promptly but in any event within three Business Days following the date of such request. 

Section 2.6 Registration Procedures. 

(a) In connection with its obligations under this Article II, the Company will: 

(i) promptly prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of
such securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement; 

(ii) furnish to each Selling Holder such number of conformed copies of such Registration Statement and of each such amendment and supplement thereto (in each
case including without limitation all exhibits), such number of copies of the prospectus contained in such Registration Statement (including without limitation each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus) and any other prospectus filed
under Rule 424 under the Securities Act, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents, as such seller may reasonably request; 

(iii) if applicable, use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such Registration
Statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as each Selling Holder thereof shall reasonably request, to keep such registration or qualification in effect for so long as such Registration Statement remains in effect,
and to take any other action which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the securities owned by such seller, except that the Company shall not for any such purpose be
required to qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it would not but for the requirements of this clause (iii) be obligated to be so qualified or to consent to general service of process in
any such jurisdiction; 
 (iv) in connection with an Underwritten Offering, use all commercially reasonable efforts to provide to each Selling Holder a copy
of any auditor “comfort” letters, customary legal opinions or reports of the independent petroleum engineers of the Company relating to the oil and gas reserves of the Company, in each case that have been provided to the Managing
Underwriter in connection with the Underwritten Offering; 
 (v) promptly notify each Selling Holder, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material
fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and at the request of any such seller promptly prepare and furnish to such
seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; 

  
 8 

 (vi) otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations
of the Commission, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, and shall furnish to each
such Selling Holder at least the Business Day prior to the filing thereof a copy of any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or prospectus; 

(vii) provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement from and after a
date not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement; 
 (viii) cause all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement to
be listed on any securities exchange on which the Company Common Stock is then listed; 
 (ix) enter into such customary agreements and take such other
actions as the Selling Holder or Selling Holders shall reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities (including, in the case of a Shelf Underwritten Offering or Piggyback Underwritten Offering,
to agree, and to cause its directors and “executive officers” (as defined under Section 16 of the Exchange Act) to agree, to such “lock-up” arrangements for up to 30 days with the
underwriters thereof to the extent reasonably requested by the Managing Underwriters, subject to exceptions for permitted sales by directors and executive officers during such period consistent with underwritten offerings previously conducted by the
Company); and 
 (x) until the six month anniversary of the date of this Agreement, in connection with any transaction or series of anticipated transactions
(a) effected pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, (b) with reasonably anticipated gross proceeds in excess of $50 million or involving Registrable Securities having a fair market value in excess of $50 million and
(c) involving a broker, agent, counterparty, underwriter, bank or other financial institution (“Financial Counterparty”), to the extent reasonably requested by the Financial Counterparty in order to engage in the proposed
transaction, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Holder in allowing the Financial Counterparty to conduct customary “underwriter’s due diligence” with respect to the Company. 

(b) Each Holder agrees by acquisition of such Registrable Securities that upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the
kind described in Section 2.6(a)(v), such Holder will forthwith discontinue such Holder’s disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of
the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 2.6(a)(v) as filed with the Commission or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of such Registration Statement may be resumed, and, if so
directed by the Company, will deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s possession of the prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities current at the time of
receipt of such notice. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this Section 2.6(b). 

Section 2.7 Cooperation by Holders. The Company shall have no obligation to include Registrable Securities of a Holder
in any Registration Statement or Underwritten Offering if such Holder has failed to timely furnish such information that the Company determines, after consultation with its counsel, is reasonably required in order for any registration statement or
prospectus supplement, as applicable, to comply with the Securities Act. 
 Section 2.8 Restrictions on Public Sale by
Holders. Each Holder agrees, following the six-month anniversary of the date of this Agreement, not to effect any public sale or distribution of Registrable Securities for a period of up to 30 days
following completion of an Underwritten Offering of equity securities for the account of the Company; provided that (a) the Company gives written notice to such Holder of the date of the commencement and termination of such period with
respect to any such Underwritten Offering and (b) the duration of the foregoing restrictions shall be no longer than the duration of the shortest restriction generally imposed by the underwriters of such public sale or distribution on the
Company or on the officers or directors or any other shareholder of the Company on whom a restriction is imposed; provided further, that this Section 2.8 shall not apply to any Holder that (a) together with such
Holder’s Affiliates, holds less than 10% of the Company’s outstanding Company Common Stock or (b) has delivered (and not revoked) an Opt-Out Notice to the Company. 

  
 9 

 Section 2.9 Expenses. The Company shall be responsible for all
Registration Expenses incident to its performance of or compliance with its obligations under this Article II. Each Selling Holder shall pay its pro rata share of all Selling Expenses in connection with any sale of its Registrable Securities
hereunder. 
 Section 2.10 Other Registration Rights. From and after the date hereof, the Company shall not, without
the prior written consent of the Majority Holders, enter into any agreement with any current or future holder of any securities of the Company that would allow such current or future holder to require the Company to include securities in any
registration statement filed by the Company for such Holders on a basis other than pari passu with, or expressly subordinate to, the piggyback rights of the Holders hereunder; provided, that in no event shall the Company enter into any
agreement that would permit another holder of securities of the Company to participate on a pari passu basis (in terms of priority of cut-back based on advice of underwriters) with a Requesting Holder
in a Shelf Underwritten Offering. 
 Section 2.11 Opt-Out Notices. Any
Holder may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Company requesting that such Holder not receive notice from the Company of the proposed filing of any Shelf Underwritten
Offering, Piggyback Underwritten Offering, the withdrawal of any Shelf Underwritten Offering or Piggyback Underwritten Offering or any event that would lead to a Suspension Period as contemplated by Section 2.3; provided, however, that such
Holder may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from a Holder (unless subsequently revoked), the Company shall not
deliver any notice to such Holder pursuant to Section 2.2, Section 2.3, Section 2.4, or Section 2.6, as applicable, and such Holder shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and each time prior to
a Holder’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, such Holder will notify the Company in writing at least two Business Days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Period was previously delivered (or would
have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section 2.11) and the Suspension Period remains in effect, the Company will so notify such Holder, within one Business Day of such Holder’s notification to the
Company, by delivering to such Holder a copy of such previous notice of such Suspension Period, and thereafter will provide such Holder with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Period immediately upon its availability. 

ARTICLE III 

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION 

Section 3.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Holder, its
officers and directors and each Person (if any) that controls such Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities,
costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) (“Losses”) caused by, arising out of, resulting from or related to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact (a) contained in any Registration
Statement relating to the Registrable Securities (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (b) included in any prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto)
or any preliminary prospectus, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, provided,
however, that such indemnity shall not apply to that portion of such Losses caused by, or arising out of, any untrue statement, or alleged untrue statement or any such omission or alleged omission, to the extent such statement or omission was
made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein. 

Section 3.2 Indemnification by the Holders. Each Holder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its
officers and directors and each Person (if any) that controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all Losses caused by, arising out of,
resulting from or related to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact (a) contained in any Registration Statement relating to Registrable Securities (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any
amendments or supplements thereto), or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (b) included in any prospectus relating to the
Registrable Securities (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any preliminary prospectus, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which 

  
 10 

 
they were made, not misleading, only to the extent such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Holder
expressly for use in any Registration Statement or prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus. 

Section 3.3 Indemnification Procedures. In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be
instituted involving any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2, such Person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such
indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing (provided that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article
III, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice), and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such proceeding and, unless in the reasonable opinion of outside counsel to
the Indemnified Party a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party may exist in respect of such claim, to assume the defense thereof jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, to the extent that it
chooses, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party that it so chooses, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal or
other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that (a) if the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense or employ
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, (b) if such Indemnified Party who is a defendant in any action or proceeding which is also brought against the Indemnifying Party reasonably shall have concluded that there may be one or
more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party which are not available to the Indemnifying Party or (c) if representation of both parties by the same counsel is otherwise inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct
then, in any such case, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to assume or continue its own defense as set forth above (but with no more than one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties in each jurisdiction, except to the extent any
Indemnified Party or Parties reasonably shall have concluded that there may be legal defenses available to such party or parties which are not available to the other Indemnified Parties or to the extent representation of all Indemnified Parties by
the same counsel is otherwise inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct) and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any expenses therefor. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party,
effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified
Party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and
(ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party. 

Section 3.4 Contribution. 

(a) If the indemnification provided for in this Article III is unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities in respect of which indemnity is to be provided hereunder, then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall to the fullest extent permitted by law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such party in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company (on the one hand) and a Holder (on the other hand) shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct
or prevent such statement or omission. 
 (b) The Company and each Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this
Article III were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 3.4(a). The amount paid or payable by an
Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in Section 3.4(a) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article III, no Holder shall be liable for indemnification or contribution pursuant to this
Article III for any amount in excess of the net proceeds of the offering received by such Holder, less the amount of any damages which such Holder has otherwise 

  
 11 

 
been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 

ARTICLE IV 
 RULE 144

 With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may permit the resale of the Registrable
Securities without registration, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to: 
 (a) make and keep public information regarding the
Company available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times from and after the date hereof; 
 (b) file
with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act at all times from and after the date hereof; and 

(c) so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish (i) to the extent accurate, forthwith upon request, a written statement of the Company
that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and (ii) unless otherwise available via the Commission’s EDGAR filing system, to such Holder forthwith upon request a copy of the most recent annual
or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed as such Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing such Holder to sell any such securities without
registration. 
 ARTICLE V 

LEGENDS AND TRANSFER OF RIGHTS 

Section 5.1 Share Legend. 

(a) Each certificate or book-entry notation representing the Shares shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of
Section 5.1(b)) bear a legend in substantially the following form: 
 THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM. 

(b) The legend on any shares of Company Common Stock covered by this Agreement shall be removed if (i) such shares of Company Common Stock are sold
pursuant to an effective registration statement, (ii) a registration statement covering the resale of such shares of Company Common Stock is effective under the Securities Act and the applicable holder of such share of Company Common Stock
delivers to the Company a representation letter agreeing that such shares of Company Common Stock will be sold under such effective registration statement, (iii) if such shares of Company Common Stock may be sold by the holder thereof free of
restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(b) under the Securities Act or (iv) such shares of Company Common Stock are being sold, assigned or otherwise transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; provided, that with respect to
clause (iii) or (iv) above, the holder of such shares of Company Common Stock has provided all necessary documentation and evidence (which may include an opinion of counsel) as may reasonably be required by the Company to confirm that the
legend may be removed under applicable securities law. The Company shall cooperate with the applicable holder of Company Common Stock covered by this Agreement to effect removal of the legend on such shares pursuant to this
Section 5.1(b) as soon as reasonably practicable after delivery of notice from such holder that the conditions to removal are satisfied (together with any documentation required to be delivered by such holder pursuant to
the immediately preceding sentence). The Company shall bear all direct costs and expenses associated with the removal of a legend pursuant to this Section 5.1(b); provided, that the applicable holder shall be
responsible for all legal fees and expenses of counsel incurred by such holder with respect to delivering the legal opinion to the Company. 
 Section
5.2 Transfer of Rights. The rights to registration and other rights under this Agreement may be assigned to a Transferee of Registrable Securities if (a) such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee or (b) such Transferee is acquiring at

MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 6.1 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate, and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations
hereunder on (a) the fifth anniversary of the date hereof or (b) as to any Holder, on such earlier date on which both (i) such Holder, together with such Holder’s Affiliates, owns less than 1,000,000 Registrable Securities and
(ii) all Registrable Securities owned by such Holder and such Holder’s Affiliates may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. 

Section 6.2 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be illegal and unenforceable by
any court of law, the remaining provisions shall be severable and enforceable in accordance with their terms. 
 Section 6.3
Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. 
 (a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Delaware, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws that would direct the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. 
 (b) THE PARTIES HEREBY
WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANOTHER IN ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN RELATION TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. FURTHER, NOTHING HEREIN SHALL DIVEST A COURT OF
COMPETENT JURISDICTION OF THE RIGHT AND POWER TO GRANT A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER, TO GRANT TEMPORARY INJUNCTIVE RELIEF, OR TO COMPEL SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF ANY DECISION OF AN ARBITRAL TRIBUNAL MADE PURSUANT TO THIS PROVISION. 

Section 6.4 Adjustments Affecting Registrable Securities. The provisions of this Agreement shall apply to any and all
shares of capital stock of the Company or any successor or assignee of the Company (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise) which may be issued in respect of, in exchange for or in substitution for Registrable Securities, by
reason of any stock dividend, split, reverse split, combination, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or otherwise in such a manner and with such appropriate adjustments as to reflect the intent and meaning of the provisions
hereof and so that the rights, privileges, duties and obligations hereunder shall continue with respect to the capital stock of the Company as so changed. 

Section 6.5 Binding Effects; Benefits of Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the Company and its successors and assigns and each Holder and its successors and assigns. Except as provided in Section 5.2, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, benefits or obligations hereunder may be assigned
or transferred, by operation of law or otherwise, by any Holder without the prior written consent of the Company. 
 Section 6.6
Notices. All notices or other communications which are required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given if (a) personally delivered, (b) sent by nationally recognized overnight
courier, (c) sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or (d) sent by email. Such notices and other communications must be sent to the following addresses or email addresses:

Section 6.7 Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by a written instrument
duly executed by the Company and the Majority Holders, provided, however, that this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented in a manner that is disproportionately adverse to the rights of a Holder under this Agreement as compared to
the other Holders without the prior written consent of such Holder. No course of dealing between the Company and the Holders (or any of them) or any delay in exercising any rights hereunder will operate as a waiver of any rights of any party to this
Agreement. The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement will in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and will not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this
Agreement in accordance with its terms. 
 Section 6.8 Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings of the parties in connection therewith. 

Section 6.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and each such counterpart
shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute but one agreement.

 and

 [                    ], as

 Dated as of [            ], 2021 

 ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of
[            ], 2021 (the “Execution Date”), by and among
[                    ], a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), on the one part, and
[                    ], a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”), and
[                    ], a Delaware corporation (“Parent” and, together with Purchaser, the “Purchaser Parties”),
and [                    ], a national banking association organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America
(“[                    ]”) and acting solely in its capacity as escrow agent under this Agreement, and any successors appointed pursuant to
the terms hereof ([                    ] in such capacity, the “Escrow Agent”). Seller, Purchaser and Parent are sometimes referred
to herein individually as an “Interested Party” and are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Interested Parties”. 

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of
[                    ], 2021 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Interested Parties, the Interested Parties have agreed
to establish an escrow arrangement for the purposes set forth therein;  
 WHEREAS, the Purchaser Parties has appointed
[                    ] as transfer agent for handling of the newly issued and registered securities (“Transfer Agent”); and 

WHEREAS, the Interested Parties wish to appoint
[                    ] as Escrow Agent and
[                    ] is willing to accept such appointment and to act as Escrow Agent, in each case upon the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby irrevocably
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:  
 1.    Establishment of Escrow
Account. On [            ], 2021, the Purchaser Parties shall instruct the Transfer Agent to issue
[                    ] shares of common stock of Parent, par value $0.01 per share (the “Parent Common Stock”, and such shares,
collectively, the “Escrow Deposit”, and together with any proceeds received on account thereof (including any cash proceeds from a Seller Directed Sale) or as distributions thereon, or any interest or earnings on any Escrow Cash (as
defined below), collectively, the “Escrow Property”) in accordance with Section 3(a) below. Pursuant to Section 3 below and at such time of issuance the Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Property constituting Parent
Common Stock in the Stock Escrow Account. Pursuant to Section 3 below, the Escrow Agent shall hold any Escrow Property constituting cash in the Cash Escrow Account. 

2.    Claims and Payment; Release from Escrow. 

(a)    Except as provided in Section 3(d) below, the Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Property in safekeeping and
disburse the same or any part thereof only in accordance with and upon: (i) written instructions of each of the Interested Parties (a “Joint Written Direction”), duly executed by an Authorized Person of each of the Interested
Parties (or counterparts thereof), or (ii) a written instruction, order or judgment (x) which has not been reversed, stayed, modified, amended, enjoined, set aside, annulled or suspended, (y) with respect to which no request for a
stay, motion or application for reconsideration or rehearing, notice of appeal or petition for certiorari is filed within the deadline provided by applicable statute or regulation or as to which any appeal that has been taken or any petition for
certiorari that has been or may be filed has been 

  
 -1- 

 
resolved by the highest court to which the order or judgment was appealed or from which certiorari was sought and (z) as to which the deadlines for filing such request, motion, petition,
application, appeal or notice referred to in clause (y) above have expired of a court of competent jurisdiction (a “Final Order”). 

(b)    Not later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of a Joint Written Direction or seven (7) Business
Days after receipt of a Final Order, in either case, directing the Escrow Agent to disburse property from the Escrow Property contained in the Stock Escrow Account or Cash Escrow Account in accordance with the terms and provisions of such Joint
Direction or Court Direction, the Escrow Agent shall disburse such Escrow Property in accordance therewith. 

(c)    Any Joint Direction or Final Order may instruct the Escrow Agent to release all or any portion of the remainder of
the Escrow Property contained in the Stock Escrow Account or Cash Escrow Account. 
 (d)    All disbursements to any
Interested Party of all or any portion of the Escrow Property shall be made in accordance with the instructions provided to the Escrow Agent by the Interested Parties as set forth in Schedule D attached hereto or any other instructions as may
be provided in a Joint Written Direction or Final Order. In connection with any disbursement of Escrow Property constituting Parent Common Stock, the Escrow Agent shall transfer such Parent Common Stock from the Stock Escrow Account to a brokerage
account (or other securities account) designated by the applicable Interested Party in the applicable Joint Written Direction or Final Order. 

(e)    Unless otherwise directed in a Joint Written Direction or Final Order, if, pursuant to any distribution made in
accordance with this Section 2, the Escrow Agent will deliver shares of Parent Common Stock to an Interested Party (or its designee), the Escrow Agent shall also concurrently deliver to such person all Dividends (as defined
below) received on account of such shares and held by the Escrow Agent at such time. 
 3.    Safekeeping of
Escrow Property. 
 (a)    Initial Registration. At the time of issuance, the Purchaser Parties shall instruct
the Transfer Agent to open a segregated account on their books and records entitled “[                    ] solely in its capacity as Escrow
Agent for [                    ] and
[                    ]” (such account, the “Stock Escrow Account”). The Parent Common Stock constituting the Escrow
Deposit shall be issued in book-entry form in the name of the Stock Escrow Account on the books and records of the Transfer Agent, without restriction other than restrictions on transfer due to the fact that the shares of Parent Common Stock
constituting the Escrow Deposit are expected to be “restricted” securities under federal and state securities laws by virtue of being issued in a transaction exempt from registration with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission, and other than any restrictions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of the Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), by and between Parent and the holders party thereto. Upon receipt of a Joint Written
Direction or a Final Order in accordance with Section 2 or Seller Directed Sale Instructions in accordance with Section 3(d) (which Joint Written Direction, Final Order or Seller Directed Sale Instruction shall include the information to
be included on Annex A to Schedule E), in each case subject to clause 3(e) below, the Escrow Agent shall deliver an instruction to the 

  
 -2- 

 
Transfer Agent in substantially the form of Schedule E (with such changes as the Transfer Agent may reasonably request), instructing the Transfer Agent to transfer the aggregate number of shares
of Parent Common Stock being distributed to the party or parties set forth in the Joint Written Direction, Final Order or Seller Directed Sale Instruction, together with such other documentation as may be reasonably requested by the Transfer Agent
to effect such transfer (including, without limitation, any requested stock powers or medallion guarantees and the applicable IRS Form for such transferee(s)) (collectively, the “Additional Transfer Documentation”), upon
receipt of which the Transfer Agent shall be responsible to transfer the shares of Parent Common Stock out of the name of the Stock Escrow Account and into the name of the relevant party or parties receiving such shares, and thereafter the Escrow
Agent shall have no further responsibility to deliver or cause to deliver such shares to such relevant party, provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Escrow Agent shall cause the proceeds from any transfer of shares of Parent Common Stock
pursuant to a Seller Directed Sale Transaction to be deposited into the Cash Escrow Account. The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for the actions or omissions of the Transfer Agent, or to monitor or ensure that the
applicable shares of Parent Common Stock are transferred, registered and timely delivered to the relevant party by the Transfer Agent; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Escrow Agent shall be responsible for providing the
Transfer Agent, with respect to any delivery to be made hereunder in accordance with any applicable Joint Written Direction, Final Order or Seller Directed Sale Instruction, any reasonably requested Additional Transfer Documentation; provided
further that the Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for the failure to provide all or any portion of any reasonably requested Additional Transfer Documentation that requires information required to be provided by a third party that the Escrow
Agent is unable to obtain upon using commercially reasonable efforts to do so. 
 (b)    Cash Dividends. Any cash
dividends and any other cash distributions from or with respect to the Escrow Property received by the Escrow Agent from time to time during the term of this Agreement (“Dividends”) shall be deposited by the Escrow Agent into the
Cash Escrow Account and remitted per instructions received in accordance with Section 2 above. 
 (c)    Corporate
Actions. Seller shall be entitled to exercise all voting rights with respect to the Escrow Property. The Escrow Agent shall not vote any such shares, and shall not execute or deliver any proxy with respect to voting such shares, unless and until the
Escrow Agent has received written instruction from Seller. The Escrow Agent shall deliver any proxy materials to Seller upon receipt of the proxy materials. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for delivering a vote on behalf of Seller in the
event Seller does not provide written instructions pursuant to Section 12 herein to the Escrow Agent. 

(d)    Seller Directed Sale. At any time from and after the registration of the Escrow Deposit until the full disbursement
of Escrow Property in accordance with the terms hereof, Seller shall be entitled to deliver, in its sole discretion, written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to sell all or any portion of the Parent Common Stock that is
included in the Escrow Property, including pursuant to a registered offering of such securities effected in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (such sale, a “Seller Directed
Sale”, and such written instructions, “Seller Directed Sale Instructions”). The Escrow Agent shall take all actions reasonably requested in writing by Seller in furtherance of the Seller Directed Sale. Upon the consummation
of the Seller Directed 

  
 -3- 

 
Sale, the Escrow Agent shall deposit the proceeds of such Seller Directed Sale into an interest-bearing account insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to the applicable limits (the
“Cash Escrow Account”, and together with the Stock Escrow Account, the “Escrow Accounts”). The account information for the Cash Escrow Account is: 

 

	
	 Bank Name:
[                    ]

	 ABA: [●];

	 Account Name: [●];

	 A/C#.: [●];

	 Ref: [●]

 The Interested Parties acknowledge that the initial interest rate applicable to the Cash Escrow Account is subject to change
from time to time and shall be reflected in the monthly statement provided to the Interested Parties. The Escrow Agent shall invest the any cash deposited into the Cash Escrow Account (“Escrow Cash”) on the date of deposit
provided that it is received on or before 11:00 a.m. New York City time. Any Escrow Cash deposited into the Cash Escrow Account after 11:00 a.m. New York City time shall be treated as if received on the following Business Day. The Escrow Agent is
hereby authorized and directed to sell or redeem any investments of Escrow Cash as it deems necessary to make any payments or distributions required under this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss in the
value of any investment of Escrow Cash made pursuant to this Agreement, or for any loss, cost or penalty resulting from any sale or liquidation of investments made with Escrow Cash. The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to execute purchases and
sales of investments through the facilities of its own trading or capital markets operations or those of any affiliated entity; provided, that the terms of such purchases and sales are effected on terms that are substantially similar to those
that would be agreed upon with a third party executing such purchases and sales. The Escrow Agent does not have a duty nor will it undertake any duty to provide investment advice. 

(e)    Restricted Securities. The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the delivery or transfer of
shares of Parent Common Stock in the Stock Escrow Account unless the Parent and the Seller, as applicable, provide, at their respective cost and expense, any certification, opinion of counsel or other instrument or document necessary to comply with
or satisfy any transfer restrictions to which such shares are subject, including without limitation any opinion of counsel required to be delivered pursuant to any restrictions on such shares in connection with any distribution of shares of Parent
Common Stock in the Stock Escrow Account to be made by the Escrow Agent under or pursuant to this Agreement. Any such opinion of counsel shall include the Escrow Agent as an addressee or shall expressly consent to the Escrow Agent’s reliance
thereon. 
 4.    Tax Matters. 

(a)    The Interested Parties agree that, for U.S. federal and applicable state income tax purposes, (i) Seller shall
be treated as the owner of the Escrow Property and (ii) any interest, earnings, dividends, proceeds or other income with respect to the Escrow Property (“Escrow Earnings”) shall be treated as the income of Seller . The
Interested Parties and the Escrow Agent agree that the Escrow Agent will not be responsible for providing tax reporting and 

  
 -4- 

 
withholding for payments which are for compensation for services performed by an employee or independent contractor. As between the Interested Parties, any amount disbursed from the Escrow
Accounts shall generally be treated as a payment pursuant to the Purchaser Parties’ obligations to Seller arising from the Purchase Agreement. No Interested Party shall take any position for U.S. federal or applicable state income tax purposes
that is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 4(a), except as required by applicable law. 
 (b)    If
the imputed interest requirements of the Code apply, the Interested Parties are solely responsible to inform the Escrow Agent, provide the Escrow Agent with all imputed interest calculations, and direct the Escrow Agent to disburse imputed interest
amounts. The Escrow Agent shall rely solely on such provided calculations and information and shall have no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any such calculations or information or for the failure of the Interested Parties to
provide such calculations or information. 
 (c)    The Interested Parties shall, upon the execution of this Agreement,
provide the Escrow Agent with a duly completed and properly executed IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8, in the case of a
non-U.S. person, for each payee, together with any other documentation and information reasonably requested by the Escrow Agent in connection with the Escrow Agent’s tax reporting obligations under the
Code and the regulations thereunder. With respect to the Escrow Agent’s tax reporting obligations under the Code, the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act and the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act and any other applicable law or
regulation, the Interested Parties understand that, in the event valid U.S. tax forms or other required supporting documentation are not provided to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent may be required to withhold tax from the Escrow Property and
report account information on any earnings, proceeds or distributions from the Escrow Property. 
 (d)    Should the
Escrow Agent become liable for the payment of taxes, including withholding taxes relating to any funds, held by it pursuant to this Agreement or any payment made hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall satisfy such liability to the extent possible from
the Escrow Property. The Interested Parties agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless pursuant to Section 6(c) hereof from any liability or obligation on account of taxes and other similar governmental
charges that may be assessed or asserted against the Escrow Agent with respect to the Escrow Property (“Tax Losses”); provided, however, that (i) nothing in this Section 4(d) shall apply to any income, franchise or similar
taxes imposed by reason of Escrow Agent being party to, or receiving any amounts under, this Agreement and (ii) to the extent any Tax Losses of the Escrow Agent result from, or are attributable to, an Interested Party’s failure to provide
a duly completed and properly executed IRS Forms W-8, W-9 and/or other documentation pursuant to Section 4(c), such Interested Party shall be solely responsible for
indemnifying the Escrow Agent for such Tax Losses and shall indemnify and reimburse the other Interested Parties for any amounts paid by such other Interested Parties to the Escrow Agent that are attributable thereto. 

(e)    No later than 10 days following the end of each calendar quarter during the term of this Agreement during which
there are any Escrow Earnings, the Escrow Agent shall cause to be paid to Seller from the Escrow Account an amount equal to (i) the amount of Escrow Earnings with respect to such account from the beginning of such calendar quarter (or, if
later, the date hereof) through the end of such quarter (or, if earlier, the date of distribution to Purchaser or Parent, 

  
 -5- 

 
as applicable) multiplied by (ii) 40%; provided, however, that in no event shall any distribution under this Section 4(e) be made from or reduce the Escrow Deposit initially deposited with
the Escrow Agent under this Agreement. 
 (f)    The Escrow Agent’s rights under this Section shall survive the
termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent. 
 5.    Concerning the Escrow
Agent. 
 (a)    Escrow Agent Duties. Each Interested Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) the
duties, responsibilities and obligations of the Escrow Agent shall be limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement, each of which is administrative or ministerial (and shall not be construed to be fiduciary) in nature, and no duties,
responsibilities or obligations shall be inferred or implied, (ii) the Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for any of the agreements referred to or described herein (including without limitation the Purchase Agreement; provided, that
in the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Agreement shall control as between the Interested Parties), or for determining or compelling compliance therewith, and shall not otherwise be bound thereby,
and (iii) the Escrow Agent shall not be required to expend or risk any of its own funds to satisfy payments from the Escrow Property hereunder. 

(b)    Liability of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any damage, loss or injury resulting
from any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction).    In no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable for indirect, incidental,
consequential, punitive or special losses or damages (including but not limited to lost profits (other than lost profits that are direct damages)), regardless of the form of action and whether or not any such losses or damages were foreseeable or
contemplated. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to reasonably rely upon any written instruction, notice, request or other instrument delivered to it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement without being required to determine the authenticity
or validity thereof, or the truth or accuracy of any information stated therein. The Escrow Agent may reasonably act in reliance upon any signature believed by it to be genuine and may reasonably assume that any person purporting to make any
statement, execute any document, or send any instruction in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so. The Escrow Agent may consult with counsel satisfactory to it, and the opinion or advice of such counsel shall be
full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and in accordance with the opinion and advice of such counsel, so long as such counsel was appointed with reasonable care. The
Escrow Agent may perform any and all of its duties through its agents, representatives, attorneys, custodians and/or nominees. The Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any obligation hereunder by reason
of any occurrence beyond its reasonable control (including, without limitation, any provision of any present or future law or regulation or any act of any governmental authority, any act of God or war or terrorism, or the unavailability of the
Federal Reserve Bank wire services or any electronic communication facility). 
 (c) Reliance on Orders. The Escrow Agent is
authorized to comply with final orders issued or process entered by any court with respect to the Escrow Property, without 

  
 -6- 

 
determination by the Escrow Agent of such court’s jurisdiction in the matter. If any portion of the Escrow Property is at any time attached, garnished or levied upon under any court order,
or in case the payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such property shall be stayed or enjoined by any court order, or in case any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting such property or any
part thereof, then and in any such event, the Escrow Agent is authorized to reasonably rely upon and comply with any such order, writ, judgment or decree which it is advised is binding upon it without the need for appeal or other action; and if the
Escrow Agent complies with any such order, writ, judgment or decree, it shall not be liable to any of the Interested Parties hereto or to any other person or entity by reason of such compliance even though such order, writ, judgment or decree may be
subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated. 
 6.    Compensation, Expense Reimbursement and
Indemnification. 
 (a)    Compensation. The Escrow Agent’s compensation specified in Schedule A
and the Escrow Agent’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by the Escrow Agent in the performance of its role under this
Agreement shall be borne 50% by Seller and 50% by Purchaser. 
 (b)    Security and Offset. The Interested
Parties hereby grant to the Escrow Agent a right of offset against the Escrow Property with respect to any fees or expenses due to the Escrow Agent hereunder (including any claim for indemnification hereunder). In the event that any fees or
expenses, or any other obligations owed to the Escrow Agent (or its counsel) are not paid to the Escrow Agent within 30 calendar days following the delivery of an invoice for the payment of such fees and expenses or the written demand for such
payment, then the Escrow Agent may, without further action or notice, pay such fees and expenses from the Escrow Property and may sell, convey or otherwise dispose of the Escrow Property (or necessary portion thereof) for such purpose. 

(c)    Indemnification. Each of the Interested Parties covenants and agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify
the Escrow Agent and its employees, officers, directors, affiliates, and agents (each, an “Indemnified Party”) for, hold each Indemnified Party harmless from, and defend each Indemnified Party against, any and all claims, losses,
actions, liabilities, costs, damages and expenses of any nature incurred by any Indemnified Party, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or with the administration of its duties hereunder, including but not limited to reasonable and
documented out-of-pocket attorney’s fees, costs and expenses, except to the extent such loss, liability, damage, cost or expense shall have been finally adjudicated
by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the Indemnified Party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The foregoing indemnification and agreement to hold harmless shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent. 
 7.    Dispute Resolution. In the
event of any disagreement among any of the Interested Parties to this Agreement, or between any of them and any other person, resulting in adverse claims or demands being made with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent
may, at its option, refuse to comply with any claims or demands and refuse to take any other action hereunder, so long as such disagreement continues, and in any such event, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable in any way or to any person for its
failure or refusal to act, and the Escrow Agent 

  
 -7- 

 
shall be entitled to continue to so refuse to act and refrain from acting until the Escrow Agent shall have received (i) a Final Order, or (ii) Joint Written Instructions, in which case
the Escrow Agent shall be authorized to disburse the Escrow Property (or any portion thereof) in accordance with such Final Order or Joint Written Instructions. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to receive (from and at the expense of the presenting
party) an opinion of counsel to the effect that any Final Order is final and not subject to appeal. The Escrow Agent shall have the option, after 30 calendar days’ notice to the Interested Parties of its intention to do so, to petition (by
means of filing an action in interpleader or any other appropriate method) any court of competent jurisdiction, for instructions with respect to any dispute or uncertainty, and to the extent required or permitted by law, pay into such court the
Escrow Property (or any portion thereof) for holding and disposition in accordance with the instructions of such court. The costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) actually incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with such proceeding shall be paid by, and be the joint and several
obligation of, the Interested Parties. 
 8.    Entire Agreement; Exclusive Benefit. Except
for the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents with respect to solely the Interested Parties, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and sets forth in its entirety the obligations and duties of the Escrow
Agent with respect to the Escrow Property. This Agreement is for the exclusive benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective permitted successors, and shall not be deemed to give, either expressly or implicitly, any legal or
equitable right, remedy, or claim to any other entity or person whatsoever. No party may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties. 

9.    Resignation and Removal. 

(a)    The Interested Parties may remove the Escrow Agent at any time by giving to the Escrow Agent thirty
(30) calendar days’ prior written notice of removal signed by an Authorized Person of each of the Interested Parties. The Escrow Agent may resign at any time by giving to each of the Interested Parties thirty (30) calendar days’
prior written notice of resignation. 
 (b)    Within thirty (30) calendar days after giving the foregoing notice
of removal to the Escrow Agent or within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving the foregoing notice of resignation from the Escrow Agent, the Interested Parties shall appoint a successor escrow agent and give notice of such successor
escrow agent to the Escrow Agent. If a successor escrow agent has not accepted such appointment by the end of such 30-day period, the Escrow Agent may either (A) safe keep the Escrow Property until a
successor escrow agent is appointed, without any obligation to invest the same or continue to perform under this Agreement, or (B) apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent or for other
appropriate relief.  
 (c)    Upon receipt of notice of the identity of the successor escrow agent, the Escrow
Agent shall either deliver the Escrow Property then held hereunder to the successor escrow agent, less the Escrow Agent’s fees and reasonable and documented costs and expenses, or hold such Escrow Property (or any portion thereof) pending
distribution, until all such fees, costs and expenses are paid to it. Upon delivery of the Escrow Property to the successor escrow agent, the Escrow Agent shall have no further duties, responsibilities or obligations hereunder.

parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any right to trial by jury with respect to any proceeding relating to this Agreement. 

11.    Representations and Warranties. Each of the Interested Parties and the Escrow Agent

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Warburg, the performance by Warburg of its obligations hereunder and the consummation by Warburg of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by Warburg and no other actions or proceedings on the part of Warburg are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by Warburg of this Agreement, the performance by Warburg of its obligations hereunder or the consummation by Warburg of the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Warburg and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other Parties, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Warburg, enforceable against Warburg in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

Warburg has voting power, power of disposition, and power to agree to all of the matters set forth in this Agreement, in each case with respect to all of the Covered Shares. As of the date hereof, other than the Existing Shares, Warburg is not a record holder of nor owns beneficially any (i) shares of Common Stock or other voting securities of Buyer Parent, (ii) securities of Buyer Parent convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or other voting securities of Buyer Parent or (iii) options or other rights to acquire from Buyer Parent any shares of Common Stock, other voting securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or other voting securities of Buyer Parent. The Covered Shares are not subject to any voting trust agreement or other contract to which Warburg is a party restricting or otherwise relating to the voting or Transfer of the Covered Shares. Warburg has not appointed or granted any proxy or power of attorney that is still in effect with respect to any Covered Shares. 
(c)Except as contemplated by this Agreement, Warburg (i) has not entered into, and shall not enter into at any time prior to the Termination Date, any voting agreement or voting trust with respect to any Covered Shares and (ii) has not granted, and shall not grant at any time prior to the Termination Date, a proxy or power of attorney with respect to any Covered Shares, in either case, that is inconsistent with or prevents Warburg from performing its obligations pursuant to this Agreement.
(d)Except for the applicable requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), (i) no filing with, and no permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any Governmental Authority is necessary on the part of Warburg for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Warburg or the consummation by Warburg of the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by Warburg nor the consummation by Warburg of the transactions contemplated hereby nor compliance by Warburg with any of the provisions hereof shall (A) conflict with or violate, any provision of the organizational documents of Warburg, (B) result in any breach or violation of, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of a lien on such property or asset of Warburg pursuant to, any contract to which Warburg is a party or by which Warburg or any property or asset of Warburg is bound or affected or (C) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to Warburg or any of Warburg’s properties or assets except, in the case of clause (B) or (C), for breaches, 
3

(e)As of the date of this Agreement, there is no action, suit, investigation, complaint or other proceeding pending against Warburg or, to the knowledge of Warburg, any other Person or, to the knowledge of Warburg, threatened against Warburg or any other Person that restricts or prohibits (or, if successful, would restrict or prohibit) the exercise by the Parties of their rights under this Agreement or the performance by any Party of its obligations under this Agreement. 
5.Transfer Agent. Warburg hereby authorizes Buyer Parent or its counsel to notify the transfer agent that there is a stop transfer order with respect to all Covered Shares (and that this Agreement places limits on the voting and Transfer of such Covered Shares); provided, however, that Buyer Parent or its counsel will further notify the transfer agent to lift and vacate the stop transfer order with respect to the Covered Shares on the earlier of (a) the date on which the written consent of Warburg is delivered in accordance with Section 2 and (b) the Termination Date. 
6.Warburg Capacity. This Agreement is being entered into by Warburg solely in its capacity as a holder of Common Stock, and nothing in this Agreement shall restrict or limit the ability of Warburg or any Affiliate or any employee thereof who is a director or officer of Buyer Parent to take any action in his or her capacity as a director or officer of Buyer Parent to the extent specifically permitted by the Purchase Agreements. 
7.Disclosure.  Warburg hereby authorizes Buyer Parent to publish and disclose in any announcement or disclosure required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in the proxy statement filed with the SEC in connection with the Transactions Warburg’s identity and ownership of the Covered Shares and the nature of the Warburg’s obligations under this Agreement. 
8.No Ownership Interest.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in Seller Parties or the Buyer Parties any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any Covered Shares.  All rights, ownership and economic benefit relating to the Covered Shares shall remain vested in and belong to Warburg, and Seller Parties and the Buyer Parties shall have no authority to direct Warburg in the voting or disposition of any of the Covered Shares, except as otherwise provided herein.
9.Non-Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of Warburg contained herein shall not survive the Termination Date. 
10.Amendment and Modification. Subject to the provisions of the applicable Laws, at any time prior to the Termination Date, the Parties may modify or amend this Agreement, by written agreement of the Parties.   
11.Waiver. The failure of any Party to assert any of its rights hereunder or under applicable Law shall not constitute a waiver of such rights and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no single or partial exercise by any Party of any of its rights hereunder precludes any other or further exercise of such rights or any other rights hereunder or under applicable Law.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (regardless of whether similar), nor shall any such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided. 
12.Notices. Any notice, request, instruction or other document to be given hereunder by any Party to the others shall be in writing and delivered personally or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, email or overnight courier:

13.Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties both written and oral, among the Parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof.  
14.No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature under or by reason of this Agreement.   
15.GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE MADE IN AND IN ALL RESPECTS SHALL BE INTERPRETED, CONSTRUED AND GOVERNED BY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH PRINCIPLES WOULD DIRECT A MATTER TO ANOTHER JURISDICTION.  The Parties hereby irrevocably submit to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such Court of Chancery shall lack subject matter jurisdiction, the Federal courts of the United States of America located in the State of Delaware, solely in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of (and any claim or cause of action arising under or relating to) this Agreement, and in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof that it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the Parties irrevocably agree that all claims relating to such action, proceeding or transactions shall be heard and determined in such courts.  The Parties hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the person of such Parties and, to the extent permitted by Law, over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 12 or in such other manner as may be permitted by Law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof. 
16.WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY 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 ACTION OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.  EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (a) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (b) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (c) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (d) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 16. 
17.Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if said Court of Chancery shall lack subject matter jurisdiction, any Federal court of the United States of America located in the County of New Castle, Delaware, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such Party is entitled at law or in equity.  In the event that any action is brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no Party shall allege, and each Party hereby waives the defense or counterclaim, that there is an adequate remedy at law.  Each Party further agrees that no other Party or any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 17, and each Party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. Any purported assignment in violation of this Agreement shall be null and void.
19.Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.  If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application of such provision, in any other jurisdiction.
20.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each such counterpart being deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts shall together constitute the same agreement.  Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in “portable document format” (“.pdf”) form, or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, will have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing the original signature.  
21.No Presumption Against Drafting Party. The Parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement.  In the event that an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.
