(collectively, the “EnCap Stockholders”). Parent, the Company, and the EnCap Stockholders are each sometimes referred to herein individually

 RECITALS 

WHEREAS, each of the EnCap Stockholders is the beneficial or record owner of such number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share,
of Parent (the “Parent Common Stock”) as is indicated opposite each such EnCap Stockholder’s name on Schedule A attached hereto; 

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent, Everest Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a
wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and the Company are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (such agreement, as amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), that provides, among other
things, for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, pursuant to which the Company will be the surviving corporation (such transaction and each other act or transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement collectively, the
“Merger”); 
 WHEREAS, contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, and as an inducement to
Parent’s and the Company’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, the EnCap Stockholders have executed and delivered to Parent and the Company a written consent approving the Parent Stock Issuance and the Parent Charter Amendment
attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “EnCap Written Consent”), which written consent constitutes the Parent Stockholder Approval; 

WHEREAS, as a condition and a further inducement to Parent’s and the Company’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement,
Parent and the Company have required that the EnCap Stockholders agree, and the EnCap Stockholders have agreed, to enter into this Agreement with respect to all Parent Common Stock that the EnCap Stockholders Beneficially Own (as defined below); and

 WHEREAS, Parent and the Company desire that the EnCap Stockholders agree, and the EnCap Stockholders are willing to agree, subject to the
limitations herein, not to Transfer (as defined below) any of their Subject Securities (as defined below), and to vote, or deliver written consents with respect to, their Subject Securities in a manner so as to facilitate consummation of the Merger.

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements set forth
below and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows: 

AGREEMENT 
 1.
Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement. When used in this Agreement, the following terms in all of their tenses, cases, and
correlative forms shall have the meanings assigned to them in this Section 1 or elsewhere in this Agreement. 

 (a) “Beneficially Own” has the meaning assigned to such
term in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, and a Person’s beneficial ownership of securities shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of such Rule (in each case, irrespective of whether or
not such Rule is actually applicable in such circumstance). For the avoidance of doubt, Beneficially Own shall also include record ownership of securities. 

(b) “Beneficial Owners” shall mean Persons who Beneficially Own the referenced securities. 

(c) “Expiration Time” shall mean the earliest to occur of (i) the Effective Time, (ii) such date and
time as the Merger Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Article VIII thereof, or (iii) the termination of this Agreement by mutual written consent of the Parties. 

(d) “Permitted Transfer” shall mean, in each case, with respect to each EnCap Stockholder, so long as
(i) such Transfer is in accordance with applicable Law and such EnCap Stockholder is, and at all times has been, in compliance with this Agreement and (ii) any Transfer of Subject Securities by the EnCap Stockholder to another Person, so
long as such Person, in connection with, and prior to, such Transfer, executes a joinder to this Agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company, pursuant to which such Person agrees to become a party to this
Agreement and be subject to the restrictions and obligations applicable to such EnCap Stockholder and otherwise become a party for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that no such Transfer shall relieve the transferring EnCap Stockholder
from its obligations under this Agreement (A) if less than all of such EnCap Stockholder’s Parent Common Stock is transferred, other than with respect to the Parent Common Stock transferred in accordance with the foregoing provisions, or
(B) if, following the transfer of all of such EnCap Stockholder’s Parent Common Stock in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such EnCap Stockholder subsequently acquires or reacquires Beneficial Ownership of any Parent Common Stock.

 (e) “Subject Securities” shall mean, collectively, shares of Parent Common Stock and New Parent Common
Stock. 
 (f) “Transfer” means (a) any direct or indirect offer, sale, tender pursuant to a tender or
exchange offer, lease, assignment, encumbrance, loan, pledge, grant of a security interest, hypothecation (including by gift or by contribution or distribution to any trust or similar instrument or to any beneficiaries of the EnCap Stockholder),
disposition, or other transfer (including by merger, consolidation or otherwise by operation of law), either voluntary or involuntary, or entry into any contract, option, or other arrangement or understanding with respect to any offer, sale, tender
pursuant to a tender or exchange offer, lease, assignment, encumbrance, loan, pledge, hypothecation (including by gift or by contribution or distribution to any trust or similar instrument or to any beneficiaries of the EnCap Stockholder),
disposition, or other transfer (including by merger, consolidation or otherwise by operation of law ), of any capital stock or interest in any capital stock (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for such capital stock), including in each
case through the transfer of any Person or any interest in any Person or (b) in respect of any capital stock or interest in any capital stock, to enter into any swap or any other agreement, transaction, or series of transactions that hedges or
transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of such capital stock or interest in capital stock, whether any such swap, agreement, transaction, or series of transactions is to be settled by delivery
of securities, in cash, or otherwise. For purposes of this Agreement, “capital stock” shall include interests in a partnership or limited liability company.

 2. Agreement to Retain Subject Securities. 

(a) Transfer and Encumbrance of Subject Securities. Other than a Permitted Transfer, hereafter until the Expiration
Time, each EnCap Stockholder agrees that it shall not, with respect to any Subject Securities Beneficially Owned by such EnCap Stockholder, (a) Transfer any such Subject Securities, or (b) deposit any such Subject Securities into a voting
trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to such Subject Securities or grant any proxy (except as otherwise provided herein or to grant a revocable proxy to Parent’s proxy holders to vote or cause to be voted the
Subject Securities in accordance with this Agreement) or power of attorney with respect thereto. 
 (b) Injunction.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at any time following the date hereof and prior to the Expiration Time a Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction enters an order restraining, enjoining, or otherwise prohibiting
the EnCap Stockholders or their Affiliates from (a) consummating the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or (b) taking any action pursuant to Section 3 or Section 4, then
(i) the obligations of each EnCap Stockholder set forth in Section 3 and the irrevocable proxy and power of attorney in Section 4 shall be of no force and effect for so long as such order is
in effect and, in the case of clause (b), solely to the extent such order restrains, enjoins, or otherwise prohibits such EnCap Stockholder from taking any such action, and (ii) for so long as such order is in effect, each EnCap Stockholder
shall cause the Subject Securities to not be represented in person or by proxy at any meeting at which a vote of such EnCap Stockholder on the Merger is requested. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 2(b), the restrictions set forth in Section 2(a) shall continue to apply with respect to the Subject Securities until the Expiration Time. 

(c) Additional Purchases; Adjustments. Each EnCap Stockholder agrees that any shares of Parent Common Stock and any
other shares of capital stock or other equity of Parent that such EnCap Stockholder purchases or otherwise acquires (including pursuant to a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend or distribution or any change in Parent Common Stock by
reason of a merger, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares, or similar transaction) or with respect to which such Parent Stockholder otherwise acquires voting power after the execution of this Agreement
and prior to the Expiration Time (the “New Parent Common Stock”) shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted the Parent Common Stock, and such EnCap Stockholder shall
promptly notify Parent and the Company of the existence of any New Parent Common Stock. 
 (d) Unpermitted Transfers;
Involuntary Transfers. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Subject Securities in violation of this Section 2 shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, be null and void ab initio. If any involuntary
Transfer of any of such EnCap Stockholder’s Subject Securities shall occur, the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees and subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall take and hold such Subject
Securities subject to all of the restrictions, liabilities, and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect until valid termination of this Agreement. 

3. Agreement to Vote and Approve. Each EnCap Stockholder (i) confirms that it has irrevocably and unconditionally executed and
delivered to Parent and the Company the EnCap Written Consent with respect to all of the shares of Parent Common Stock indicated on Schedule A hereto opposite such EnCap Stockholder’s name, and (ii) represents and warrants to Parent and
the Company that the EnCap Written Consent is valid and effective as of the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement by each 

  
 3 

 
of the parties thereto. From and after the date hereof until the Expiration Time, each EnCap Stockholder irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that: 

(a) such EnCap Stockholder will not revoke or seek to revoke the EnCap Written Consent or take or seek to take any other action
that would cause the EnCap Written Consent to be invalid or ineffective or otherwise not to constitute the Parent Stockholder Approval; 

(b) at any meeting of the stockholders of Parent called with respect to any of the following matters, and at every adjournment
or postponement thereof, each EnCap Stockholder (A) shall appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause the Subject Securities that the EnCap Stockholder Beneficially Owns to be counted as present thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum
and (B) shall, and shall cause each holder of record on any applicable record date to (including via proxy), vote all of the Subject Securities the EnCap Stockholder Beneficially Owns in favor of (1) the Parent Stock Issuance and the
Parent Charter Amendment, and (2) any proposal to adjourn or postpone such meeting of stockholders of Parent to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to adopt such proposals; and 

(c) at any meeting of the stockholders of Parent called with respect to any of the following matters, and at every adjournment
or postponement thereof, and on any action or approval by written consent of the stockholders of Parent with respect to any of the following matters, each EnCap Stockholder (A) shall appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause the Subject
Securities that the EnCap Stockholder Beneficially Owns to be counted as present thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum and (B) shall, and shall cause each holder of record on any applicable record date to (including via proxy), vote the
Subject Securities that the EnCap Stockholder Beneficially Owns against (1) any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in any condition to the consummation of the Merger set forth in Article VII of the Merger Agreement
not being satisfied, (2) any Parent Competing Proposal, (3) any action which could reasonably be expected to prevent, impede, interfere with, discourage, delay, postpone, or materially adversely affect the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, or dilute, in any material respect, the benefit of the transactions contemplated thereby to the Company or to the Company’s stockholders, and (4) any action which could reasonably
be expected to result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement of Parent or Merger Sub in the Merger Agreement. 

4. Irrevocable Proxy. By execution of this Agreement, each EnCap Stockholder hereby appoints and constitutes the Company, until the
Expiration Time (at which time this proxy shall automatically be revoked), with full power of substitution and resubstitution, as such EnCap Stockholder’s true and lawful
attorney-in-fact and proxy (which proxy is irrevocable and is coupled with an interest, pursuant to Section 212(e) of the DGCL), to the fullest extent of such EnCap
Stockholder’s rights with respect to the Subject Securities Beneficially Owned by such EnCap Stockholder, to vote (or exercise a written consent with respect to) such Subject Securities solely with respect to the matters set forth in
Section 3 hereof and each EnCap Stockholder shall retain the authority to vote its Subject Securities on all other matters; provided, however, that the foregoing shall only be effective if such EnCap
Stockholder fails to be counted as present, to consent, or to vote such EnCap Stockholder’s Subject Securities, as applicable, in accordance with this Agreement. 

5. Representations and Warranties of the EnCap Stockholders. Each EnCap Stockholder hereby severally, but not jointly, represents and
warrants to each of Parent and the Company as follows: 
 (a) Due Authority. Such EnCap Stockholder has the full power
and authority to make, enter into, and carry out the terms of this Agreement, to execute and deliver the EnCap Written 

  
 4 

 
Consent and to grant the irrevocable proxy as set forth in Section 4 hereof. This Agreement and the EnCap Written Consent have been duly authorized, and no other action
on the part of such EnCap Stockholder is necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the EnCap Written Consent by such EnCap Stockholder. This Agreement and the EnCap Written Consent have been validly executed and
delivered by such EnCap Stockholder, and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the other parties hereto, this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of such EnCap Stockholder enforceable against it in
accordance with its terms. 
 (b) Ownership of the Parent Common Stock. As of the date hereof, such EnCap Stockholder
(a) Beneficially Owns the shares of Parent Common Stock indicated on Schedule A hereto opposite such EnCap Stockholder’s name, free and clear of any and all Encumbrances, other than those created by this
Agreement, and (b) has sole voting power over all of the shares of Parent Common Stock Beneficially Owned by such EnCap Stockholder. As of the date hereof, such EnCap Stockholder does not Beneficially Own any capital stock or other securities
of Parent other than the shares of Parent Common Stock set forth on Schedule A opposite such EnCap Stockholder’s name. As of the date hereof, such EnCap Stockholder does not Beneficially Own any rights to purchase or acquire any shares
of capital stock of Parent. 
 (c) No Conflict; Consents. 

(i) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the EnCap Written Consent by such EnCap Stockholder do not, and the
performance by such EnCap Stockholder of its obligations under this Agreement and the compliance by such EnCap Stockholder with any provisions hereof do not and will not: (i) conflict with or violate any Law applicable to such EnCap
Stockholder; (ii) violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws or similar organizational or governing documents of the EnCap Stockholder; or (iii) result in any breach of or constitute a default (or an event that
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 an Encumbrance on any of the shares of Parent Common Stock
Beneficially Owned by such EnCap Stockholder pursuant to, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise, or other instrument or obligation to which such EnCap Stockholder or an Affiliate is a party or by
which such EnCap Stockholder or an Affiliate is bound. 
 (ii) No consent, approval, order, or authorization of, or
registration, declaration, or filing with, any Governmental Entity or any other Person, is required by or with respect to such EnCap Stockholder or an Affiliate in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the EnCap Written
Consent or the performance by such EnCap Stockholder of its obligations hereunder. 
 (d) Absence of Litigation. There
is no Proceeding pending against, or, to the knowledge of such EnCap Stockholder, threatened against or affecting, such EnCap Stockholder or an Affiliate that could reasonably be expected to materially impair or materially adversely affect the
ability of such EnCap Stockholder to perform such EnCap Stockholder’s obligations hereunder on a timely basis. 
 6. Termination.
This Agreement shall terminate immediately at, and shall have no further force or effect as of and following, the Expiration Time, provided, however, that the termination of this 

  
 5 

 
Agreement shall not relieve any Party from any liability for any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement. 

7. Notice of Certain Events. Each EnCap Stockholder shall notify Parent and the Company in writing promptly of (a) any fact, event,
or circumstance that would cause, or reasonably be expected to cause or constitute, a breach in any material respect of the representations and warranties of such EnCap Stockholder under this Agreement and (b) the receipt by such EnCap
Stockholder of any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with this Agreement or the EnCap Written Consent; provided, however, that the delivery of any
notice pursuant to this Section 7 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available to any Party. 
 8.
No Solicitation. Except as expressly permitted by Section 6.4 of the Merger Agreement, from and after the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time or if earlier the termination of the Merger Agreement in
accordance with Article VIII thereof, each EnCap Stockholder agrees that it will not, and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, initiate, solicit, propose, knowingly encourage, or
knowingly facilitate any inquiry or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to result in, a Parent Competing Proposal. 

9. Waiver of Certain Actions. Each EnCap Stockholder hereby agrees not to commence or participate in, and to take all actions necessary
to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against Parent, the Company, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or successors (a) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin or delay
the operation of, any provision of this Agreement, the EnCap Written Consent or the Merger Agreement (including any claim seeking to enjoin or delay the Closing) or (b) alleging a breach of any duty of the board of directors of the Company or
of Parent in connection with the Merger Agreement, this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated thereby or hereby. 
 10.
Miscellaneous. 
 (a) Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in
any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other
jurisdiction. If a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit such
term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision,
and this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the Parties agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and
enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business, and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision. 

(b) Successors and Assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests, or obligations hereunder shall be
assigned by any of the Parties (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of both of Parent and the Company. 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 permitted assigns. 
 (c) Amendments and Modifications.
No provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified unless such amendment or modification is in writing and signed by (a) Parent, (b) the 

  
 6 

 
Company and (c) each of the EnCap Stockholders. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single
or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by
applicable Law. 
 (d) Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed
given if delivered personally (notice deemed given upon receipt), transmitted by email (notice deemed given upon confirmation of receipt), or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, such as Federal Express (notice deemed given
upon receipt of proof of delivery), to the Parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a Party as shall be specified by like notice):

 (e) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and

as provided in this Section 10(f). The Parties agree that a final judgment in any such suit, action, or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other
manner provided by Law. 
 (g) Enforcement. The Parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages

pursuant to Section 6, it is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, or any other appropriate form of specific performance or equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this
Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction, in each case in accordance with this Section 10(g), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are
entitled under the terms of this Agreement at Law or in equity. 
 (h) No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this
Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than the Parties any right, benefit, or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. 

  
 8 

 (i) 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
SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE MERGER 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 SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (B) SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE FOREGOING WAIVER;
(C) SUCH PARTY MAKES THE FOREGOING WAIVER VOLUNTARILY; AND (D) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10(i). 

(j) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. 
 (k)
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, including via facsimile or email in “portable document format” (“.pdf”) form transmission, all of which shall be considered one and the same
agreement and shall become effective when two or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the Company, Parent and the EnCap Stockholder, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. 

(l) No Agreement Until Executed. This Agreement shall not constitute or be deemed to evidence a contract, agreement,
arrangement, or understanding between the Parties unless and until (a) the Merger Agreement is executed and delivered by all parties thereto, and (b) this Agreement is executed and delivered by the Parties. 

(m) Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the Party incurring
such cost or expense, whether or not the Merger is consummated. 
 (n) Action in EnCap Stockholder Capacity Only. No
Person executing this Agreement (or designee or Representative of such Person) who has been, is, or becomes during the term of this Agreement a director or officer of Parent shall be deemed to make any agreement or understanding in this Agreement in
such Person’s capacity as a director or officer of Parent. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is entered into by the EnCap Stockholders solely in their capacity as the Beneficial Owners of shares of Parent Common Stock and
nothing in this Agreement shall (a) restrict in any respect any actions taken by the EnCap Stockholders or their designees or Representatives who are a director or officer of Parent solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of
Parent or (b) be construed to prohibit, limit, or restrict such EnCap Stockholder or its designees or Representatives from exercising his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer of Parent. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this
Section 10(n) shall in any way modify, alter, or amend any of the terms of the Merger Agreement. 

(o) Obligation to Update Schedule A. Each EnCap Stockholder agrees that in connection with any acquisitions or Transfers
(to the extent permitted) of Subject Securities by such EnCap Stockholder, such EnCap Stockholder will, as promptly as practicable following the 

  
 9 

 
completion thereof, notify Parent and the Company in writing of such acquisition or Transfer and the Parties will update Schedule A to reflect the effect of such acquisition or Transfer.

Section 2.2 Closing. 

(a) The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), shall take place at 9:00 a.m., Dallas, Texas time, on a date
that is no later than two (2) Business Days following the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) waiver in accordance with this Agreement of all of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than any such

“Closing Date” shall mean the date on which the Closing occurs. 

  
 4 

 (b) Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the
conditions set forth in this Agreement and the DGCL, as soon as practicable on the Closing Date after the Closing, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall cause a certificate of merger to be prepared and executed in accordance with the relevant
provisions of the DGCL (the “Certificate of Merger”) and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Merger shall become effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the
State of Delaware, or at such later time as shall be agreed upon in writing by Parent and the Company and specified in the Certificate of Merger (the “Effective Time”). 

Section 2.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and the
applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of each of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the
Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of each of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of the Surviving
Corporation. 
 Section 2.4 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time,
(a) the certificate of incorporation of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be amended and restated so as to read in its entirety as set forth on Annex D and, as so amended and restated, shall be the
certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, until duly amended, subject to Section 6.10(b), in accordance with its terms and the DGCL, and (b) the bylaws of the Company as in effect immediately prior to
the Effective Time shall be amended and restated in their entirety to read as set forth on Annex E, and as so amended and restated shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, until duly amended, subject to

to occur. 
 Section 2.5 Board of Directors of Parent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall take all actions necessary to
cause the Parent Board as of and immediately following the Effective Time to consist of a total of ten directors consisting of the persons designated as follows:

such designees shall qualify as an “independent director” under the listing standards of the NYSE and the applicable rules of the SEC, and at least one of such independent director designees shall qualify as “independent”
pursuant to Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act and shall further qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K; and 
 (b) The Company shall designate five of such ten directors prior to the
Effective Time. Of such five designees, at least three of such designees shall qualify as an “independent director” under the listing standards of the NYSE and the applicable rules of the SEC, and (x) at least two of such independent
director designees shall qualify as “independent” pursuant to Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act, and (y) one of such designees shall be the Chief Executive Officer of the Company as of the
date hereof (or, if such Person is unable to serve, another Person designated by Parent and the Company). 
 From and after the Effective Time, such
directors shall serve as such until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or their earlier resignation or removal; provided, however, that one of the directors designated by the Company will resign on
the first anniversary of the Effective Time and the Parent Board shall be reduced to consist of a total of nine directors. 

  
 5

all actions necessary to cause the officers of Parent as of and immediately following the Effective Time to be the individuals listed on Schedule 2.6 of the Parent Disclosure Letter, with each such individual holding the office or offices
specified for such individual on Schedule 2.6 of the Parent Disclosure Letter. From and after the Effective Time, such officers shall serve until their resignation or removal from office by the Parent Board. Prior to the Effective Time,

Parent Disclosure Letter, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors are duly appointed or their earlier removal or resignation. 

Section 2.8 Tax Consequences. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger qualify as a
“reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and this Agreement constitute and be adopted as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations §§ 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a). 
 ARTICLE III 

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE CAPITAL STOCK OF THE COMPANY AND MERGER 

SUB; EXCHANGE 

Section 3.1 Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the
part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, or any holder of any shares of capital stock of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company: 

(a) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01, per share, of Merger Sub issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation, which shall constitute the only outstanding share
of common stock of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the certificate representing shares of capital stock of Merger Sub shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the
outstanding share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. 
 (b) Capital Stock of the Company. 

(i) Subject to the other provisions of this Article III, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the
Company (“Company Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding any Excluded Shares or Dissenting Shares) (the “Eligible Shares”) shall be converted into the right to
receive that number of validly issued, fully-paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (the “Merger Consideration”). As used in this Agreement, “Exchange Ratio” means 4.4259,
as such number is adjusted pursuant to Section 3.1(c). 

  
 6 

 (ii) All such shares of Company Common Stock, when so converted, shall cease
to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and cease to exist. Each holder of a share of Company Common Stock that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the
right to receive (A) the Merger Consideration, (B) any dividends or other distributions in accordance with Section 3.3(g) and (C) any cash to be paid in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock in
accordance with Section 3.3(h), in each case to be issued or paid in consideration therefor upon the exchange of any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, in accordance with
Section 3.3(a). 
 (iii) All shares of Company Common Stock held by the Company (as treasury shares
or otherwise) or by Parent or Merger Sub or by any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time and, in each case, not held on behalf of third parties (collectively,
“Excluded Shares”) shall automatically be canceled and cease to exist as of the Effective Time, and no consideration shall be paid or delivered in exchange therefor. 

(c) Impact of Stock Splits, Etc. In the event of any change in (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock, or
securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of Company Common Stock or (ii) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of Parent Common Stock
(including options to purchase Parent Common Stock), in each case issued and outstanding after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time by reason of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, subdivision,
reclassification, recapitalization, combination, exchange of shares, readjustment of shares or the like, the Exchange Ratio shall be equitably adjusted to reflect the effect of such change and, as so adjusted, shall from and after the date of such
event, be the Merger Consideration, subject to further adjustment in accordance with this Section 3.1(c). For the avoidance of doubt, the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted prior to the Effective Time to give effect to the
reverse stock split contemplated by the Parent Charter Amendment, which adjustment shall cause the Exchange Ratio to be a number equal to (i) the Exchange Ratio otherwise in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (ii) 15
(resulting in an Exchange Ratio of 0.29506 assuming no other adjustments to the Exchange Ratio pursuant to this Section 3.1(c)). Nothing in this Section 3.1(c) shall be construed to permit the
Parties to take any action except to the extent consistent with, and not otherwise prohibited by, the terms of this Agreement. 

Section 3.2 Treatment of Equity Compensation Awards. 

(a) Company Restricted Stock Units. No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date and conditioned upon the
occurrence of the Effective Time, each holder of an outstanding Company RSU shall make an election whether to receive (i) the Merger Consideration (including cash in lieu of fractional shares) for each share of Company Common Stock subject to
each outstanding Company RSU, (ii) cash equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to a Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time and (B) (I) the Closing Date Stock Price multiplied by
(II) the Exchange Ratio or (iii) a combination thereof, subject to withholding taxes as provided below; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to the outstanding Company RSUs awarded under Company RSU
Agreements that do not provide for such an election, and each holder of such Company RSUs shall receive the Merger Consideration (including cash in lieu of fractional shares) for each share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSUs held
by such holder, after giving effect to the 

  
 7 

 
adjustment to the number of Company RSUs subject to applicable Company RSU Agreement in connection with the Merger pursuant to the terms thereof, subject to withholding taxes as provided below.
As of the Effective Time, each outstanding Company RSU shall fully vest, and such shares of Parent Common Stock or cash, as elected by the holder thereof if applicable, shall be paid or delivered by the Company or Parent, as applicable, in
accordance with the applicable Company RSU Agreement, subject to withholding taxes; provided, however, that, in connection with such delivery of shares of Parent Common Stock to each holder of a Company RSU that will receive the Merger
Consideration in respect of such Company RSU in accordance with the foregoing, Parent shall withhold from such holder a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (valued at the Closing Date Stock Price) sufficient to cover any withholding taxes
required in connection with such delivery in lieu of requiring such holder to pay such withholding taxes in cash. Upon the payment of such cash and/or delivery of such Parent Common Stock, each Company RSU and related Company RSU Agreement shall
terminate, and the holder of such Company RSU thereof shall have no further right or claim thereunder. Upon the payment of cash or delivery of Parent Common Stock as set forth above for all outstanding Company RSUs, the Company Restricted Stock
Units Plan shall terminate. 
 (b) Company Performance Interest Awards. No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing
Date and conditioned upon the occurrence of the Effective Time, the Company Board shall adopt resolutions providing that each Company PIA Holder will receive in respect of such Company PIA Holder’s Company PIA the Merger Consideration
(including cash in lieu of fractional shares) for the applicable PIA Number of Shares, subject to withholding taxes as provided below. Such shares of Parent Common Stock shall be delivered by Parent in accordance with the applicable Company PIA
Award Agreement; provided, however, that, in connection with such delivery, Parent shall withhold from each Company PIA Holder a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (valued at the Closing Date Stock Price) sufficient to cover any
withholding taxes required in connection with such delivery in lieu of requiring such Company PIA Holder to pay such withholding taxes in cash. Upon the delivery of such Parent Common Stock, the applicable Company PIA Award Agreement shall
terminate, and the Company PIA Holder shall have no further right or claim thereunder. 
 (c) Restricted Stock. As of the Effective
Time, all shares of Company Restricted Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become fully vested and no longer be subject to restrictions; provided, however, that, in connection with such vesting,
the Company or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall redeem or otherwise acquire from each holder of shares Company Restricted Stock a number of shares of Company Restricted Stock (valued at the Closing Date Stock Price multiplied by the
Exchange Ratio) sufficient to cover any withholding taxes required in connection with such vesting in lieu of requiring such holder to pay such withholding taxes in cash, and any shares so redeemed or acquired shall be treated as Excluded Shares.
Each holder of shares of Company Restricted Stock shall receive the Merger Consideration (including cash in lieu of fractional shares) for each share of Company Restricted Stock held by such holder (subject to the proviso in the immediately
preceding sentence) in accordance with Section 3.1(b) and Section 3.3.  

Section 3.3 Payment for Securities; Exchange. 

(a) Exchange Agent; Exchange Fund. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall enter into an agreement with an exchange
agent to act as exchange agent for the holders of Company Common Stock in connection with the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging Certificates and Book-Entry Shares for the Merger Consideration and cash
sufficient to pay cash in lieu of fractional shares, pursuant to Section 3.3(h), to which such holders shall become entitled pursuant to this Article III. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or
cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Eligible Shares, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable in respect of Eligible Shares pursuant to Section 3.1. Parent agrees to
deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, from time 

  
 8 

 
to time as needed, cash sufficient to pay any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 3.3(g) and to make payments in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to
Section 3.3(h). The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the Merger Consideration contemplated to be issued in exchange for Eligible Shares pursuant to this Agreement out of the Exchange Fund.
Except as contemplated by this Section 3.3(a) and Sections 3.3(g) and 3.3(h), the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. Any cash and shares of Parent Common Stock deposited with the Exchange
Agent (including as payment for fractional shares in accordance with Section 3.3(h) and any dividends or other distributions in accordance with Section 3.3(g)) shall hereinafter be referred to as
the “Exchange Fund.” Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Exchange Agent, in connection with the exchange of Eligible Shares pursuant to this Agreement. The cash portion of
the Exchange Fund may be invested by the Exchange Agent as reasonably directed by Parent. To the extent, for any reason, the amount in the Exchange Fund is below that required to make prompt payment of the aggregate cash payments contemplated by
this Article III, Parent shall promptly replace, restore or supplement the cash in the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient for the Exchange Agent to make the payment of the
aggregate cash payments contemplated by this Article III. Any interest or other income resulting from investment of the cash portion of the Exchange Fund shall become part of the Exchange Fund, and any amounts in excess of the amounts payable
hereunder shall, at the discretion of Parent, be promptly returned to Parent or the Surviving Corporation. 
 (b) Payment
Procedures. 
 (i) Certificates. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange
Agent to deliver to each record holder, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, of an outstanding certificate or certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Eligible Shares (“Certificates”) a letter
of transmittal (“Letter of Transmittal”) (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of
the Certificates as provided in Section 3.3(f)) to the Exchange Agent, and which shall be in a customary form and agreed to by Parent and the Company prior to the Closing) advising such holders of the effectiveness of the
Merger and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 3.3(f)) for payment of the Merger Consideration set forth in
Section 3.1(b)(i). Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate (or an affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 3.3(f)), together with the Letter of Transmittal,
duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other customary documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor
(A) one or more shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be in uncertificated book-entry form) representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock, if any, that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to
Section 3.1 (after taking into account all shares of Company Common Stock then held by such holder) and (B) a check in an amount equal to the cash payable in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock
pursuant to Section 3.3(h) and dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 3.3(g). 

(ii) Non-DTC Book-Entry Shares. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time,
Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver to each record holder, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, of Eligible Shares represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) not held through DTC, (A) a notice
advising such holders of the 

  
 9 

 
effectiveness of the Merger, (B) a statement reflecting the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be in uncertificated book-entry form) representing, in the aggregate, the
whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock, if any, that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 3.1 (after taking into account all shares of Company Common Stock then held by such holder) and (C) a
check in the amount equal to the cash payable in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.3(h) and dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 3.3(g).

 (iii) DTC Book-Entry Shares. With respect to Book-Entry Shares held through DTC, Parent and the Company shall
cooperate to establish procedures with the Exchange Agent and DTC to ensure that the Exchange Agent will transmit to DTC or its nominees as soon as reasonably practicable on or after the Closing Date, upon surrender of Eligible Shares held of record
by DTC or its nominees in accordance with DTC’s customary surrender procedures, the Merger Consideration, cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock, if any, and any unpaid non-stock
dividends and any other dividends or other distributions, in each case, that DTC has the right to receive pursuant to this Article III. 

(iv) No interest shall be paid or accrued on any amount payable for Eligible Shares pursuant to this Article III. 

(v) With respect to Certificates, if payment of the Merger Consideration (including any dividends or other distributions with
respect to Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.3(g) and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.3(h)) is to be made to a Person other than the
record holder of such Eligible Shares, it shall be a condition of payment that shares so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any
transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such shares surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Taxes
either have been paid or are not applicable. With respect to Book-Entry Shares, payment of the Merger Consideration (including any dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock pursuant to
Section 3.3(g) and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.3(h)) shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered in
the stock transfer books of the Company as of the Effective Time. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.3(b)(v), each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the
right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration payable in respect of such shares of Company Common Stock, cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to
Section 3.3(h) and any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.3(g). 

(c) Termination of Rights. All Merger Consideration (including any dividends or other distributions with respect to
Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.3(g) and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.3(h)) paid upon the surrender of and in exchange for Eligible
Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation shall be closed
immediately, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective

  
 10 

 
Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates formerly representing shares of Company Common Stock are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and
exchanged for the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the Eligible Shares previously represented by such Certificates, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to
Section 3.3(h) and any dividends or other distributions to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 3.3(g), without any interest thereon. 

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the former common
stockholders of the Company on the 180th day after the Closing Date shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares who have not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look
only to the Surviving Corporation and Parent, as general creditors thereof, for payment of the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which they are entitled pursuant to
Section 3.3(h) and any dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock to which they are entitled pursuant to Section 3.3(g), in each case without interest thereon. Any portion
of the Exchange Fund made available to the Exchange Agent in respect of any Dissenting Shares shall be returned to Parent, upon demand. 

(e) No Liability. None of the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Sub or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any
holder of Company Common Stock for any amount of Merger Consideration properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificate has not been surrendered prior to the time that
is immediately prior to the time at which Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, any such shares, cash, dividends or distributions in respect of such
Certificate shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. 

(f) Lost, Stolen, or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the
making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct as indemnity
against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company Common
Stock formerly represented by such Certificate, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 3.3(h) and any dividends or other distributions to
which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 3.3(g). 
 (g) Distributions with
Respect to Unexchanged Shares of Parent Common Stock. No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered
Certificate with respect to the whole shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder would be entitled to receive upon surrender of such Certificate and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be paid to any such
holder, in each case until such holder shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with this Section 3.3. Following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to such holder of whole shares of Parent Common
Stock issuable in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) promptly after the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to such whole
shares of Parent Common Stock and not paid, and (ii) at the 

  
 11 

 
appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender
payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock. For purposes of dividends or other distributions in respect of shares of Parent Common Stock, all whole shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger shall be
entitled to dividends pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence as if such whole shares of Parent Common Stock were issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time. 

(h) No Fractional Shares of Parent Common Stock. No certificates or scrip or book-entry notations representing
fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the exchange of Eligible Shares and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to have any rights of a stockholder of Parent or a holder of shares of
Parent Common Stock. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of Eligible Shares exchanged pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after taking
into account all Certificates and Book-Entry Shares held by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest), rounded to the nearest whole cent, in an amount equal to the product of (i) such fractional part of a share of
Parent Common Stock multiplied by (ii) the volume weighted average price of Parent Common Stock for the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Closing Date as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. (with appropriate adjustments to give
effect to any event contemplated by Section 3.1(c)(ii) that occurs during such five trading-day period). As promptly as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if
any, to be paid to holders of fractional interests, the Exchange Agent shall so notify Parent, and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to forward payments to such holders of fractional interests subject to and in accordance with the terms hereof.

 (i) Withholding Taxes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent, the Surviving
Corporation and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts (including, for the avoidance of doubt, from shares of Parent Common Stock) otherwise payable to any holder of Company Common Stock pursuant to this
Agreement any amount required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Law. To the extent such amounts are so properly deducted or withheld and paid over to the relevant Taxing Authority by the Exchange
Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Company Common Stock to whom such amounts would have been
paid absent such deduction or withholding by the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be. 

Section 3.4 Dissenting Stockholders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, including
Section 3.1, shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares cancelled in accordance with Section 3.1(b)(iii)) and held by
a holder (x) who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing, (y) who has properly exercised and perfected appraisal rights of such shares pursuant to, and who has complied in all respects with, the
provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL and (z) who is not prohibited from exercising (and who has not waived, is not required to waive and is not deemed to have waived) such appraisal rights pursuant to the terms of the Company Stockholders
Agreement (such shares being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into a right to receive (a) the Merger Consideration, (b) any dividends or other distributions in accordance with
Section 3.3(g) or (c) any cash to be paid in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 3.3(h), but instead shall be entitled to only such rights as are
granted by Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if (i) after the Effective Time, such holder fails to properly perfect or effectively waives or withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s right to appraisal
pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or (ii) a court of 

  
 12 

 
competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, such shares shall be treated as if they had been converted
as of the Effective Time into the right to receive (a) the Merger Consideration, (b) any dividends or other distributions in accordance with Section 3.3(g) or (c) any cash to be paid in lieu of any fractional
shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 3.3(h), if any, to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Article III, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the Certificates representing such
shares, as applicable, in accordance with this Article III. The Company shall provide Parent prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Common Stock, any withdrawal of any such demand and
any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL that relates to such demand, and Parent shall have the opportunity and right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with
respect to such demands. Except with the prior written consent of the other Party, neither the Company nor Parent shall make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands prior to the Effective Time.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY 

Except as set forth in the disclosure letter dated as of the date of this Agreement and delivered by the Company to Parent and Merger Sub on
or prior to the date of this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Letter”), the Company represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub as follows: 

Section 4.1 Organization, Standing and Power. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1 of the Company Disclosure Letter, each of the
Company and its Subsidiaries is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company duly organized, as the case may be, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, with all requisite
entity power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted, other than, in the case of the Company’s Subsidiaries, where the failure to be so organized or to have such power,

qualified or licensed and in good standing to do business in each jurisdiction in which the business it is conducting, or the operation, ownership or leasing of its properties, makes such qualification or license necessary, other than where the
failure to so qualify, license or be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company has heretofore made available to Parent complete and correct copies of
its Organizational Documents and the Organizational Documents of each of its Subsidiaries, each as amended prior to the execution of this Agreement, and each as made available to Parent is in full force and effect, and neither the Company nor any of
its Subsidiaries is in violation of any of the provisions of such Organizational Documents.

material respects with (i) applicable securities Laws and other applicable Law and (ii) all requirements set forth in applicable contracts. As of the date of this Agreement, except as set forth in this
Section 4.2, there are no outstanding options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for, purchase or acquire from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries any capital stock of the Company or securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for capital stock of the Company (and the exercise, conversion, purchase, exchange or other similar price thereof). All outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity interests of the Subsidiaries of the Company are
owned by the Company, or a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company, are free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than Encumbrances described in Schedule 4.2 of the Company Disclosure Letter) and have been duly authorized

Subsidiary of the Company is a party or by which it is bound in any case obligating the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company to issue, deliver, sell, purchase, redeem or acquire, or cause to be issued, delivered, sold, purchased, redeemed or
acquired, additional shares of Company Capital Stock or any Voting Debt or other voting securities of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, or obligating the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company to grant, extend or enter into any such

Stockholder Approval is obtained) or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii), except as set forth in Schedule 4.3 of the Company Disclosure Letter, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, result in a violation of, a termination (or right of
termination) of or default under, the creation or acceleration of any obligation or the loss of a benefit under, or result in the creation of any Encumbrance upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under, any

violations, defaults, acceleration, losses, or Encumbrances that would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. Other than this Agreement, the Company is not party to any contract,
arrangement or other commitment that would or would reasonably be expected to entitle any Person to appoint one or more directors to the Parent Board. 

Section 4.4 Consents. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.4 of the Company Disclosure Letter, no Consent from any Governmental

the Oil and Gas Leases of the Company and its Subsidiaries or otherwise associated with an Oil and Gas Property of the Company or its Subsidiaries have (in the case of such Oil and Gas Properties operated by a third party operator, to the knowledge
of the Company) been drilled, completed and operated within the limits permitted by the applicable contracts entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries related to such wells and applicable Law, and all drilling and completion (and

furnished to the SEC and available on Edgar since December 31, 2016 and prior to the date of this Agreement (excluding any disclosures set forth or referenced in any risk factor section or in any other section, in each case, to the extent they

owned by them) (1) entitles Parent (or one or more of its Subsidiaries, as applicable) to receive (after satisfaction of all Production Burdens applicable thereto), not less than the net revenue interest share shown in the Parent Reserve

such percentage) and the applicable working interest shown on the Parent Reserve Reports for such Oil and Gas Properties that are accompanied by a proportionate (or greater) net revenue interest in such Oil and Gas Properties and (3) is free

(i) the Company Board may, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, make such disclosures as the Company Board
thereof determines in good faith are necessary to comply with Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, 

  
 56 

 
however, that if such disclosure has the effect of withdrawing or adversely modifying the Company Board Recommendation, such disclosure shall be deemed to be a Company Change of
Recommendation and Parent shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 8.1(c); 

(ii) prior to, but not after, the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company and its Representatives may engage
in the activities prohibited by Sections 6.3(b)(ii) or 6.3(b)(iii) with any Person if (1) the Company receives an unsolicited bona fide written Company Competing Proposal from such Person and (2) such Company Competing
Proposal did not arise from or in connection with a breach of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.3; provided, however, that (A) no information that is prohibited from being furnished pursuant to
Section 6.3(b) may be furnished until the Company receives an executed confidentiality agreement from such Person containing limitations on the use and disclosure of non-public
information furnished to such Person by or on behalf of the Company that are no less favorable to the Company in the aggregate than the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement (provided, further, that such confidentiality agreement does
not contain provisions which prohibit the Company from providing any information to Parent in accordance with this Section 6.3 or that otherwise prohibits the Company from complying with the provisions of this
Section 6.3), (B) that any such non-public information has previously been made available to, or is made available to, Parent prior to or concurrently with (or in the case of oral non-public information only, promptly (and in any event within the shorter of one Business Day and 48 hours) after) the time such information is made available to such Person, (C) prior to taking any such

Superior Proposal and (D) prior to taking any such actions, the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties owed by
the Company Board to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law; 
 (iii) prior to, but not after, the receipt of
the Company Stockholder Approval, in response to an unsolicited bona fide written Company Competing Proposal from a third party that did not arise from or in connection with a breach of the obligations set forth in this
Section 6.3, if the Company Board or a committee thereof so chooses, the Company Board or a committee thereof may effect a Company Change of Recommendation or may terminate this Agreement pursuant to
Section 8.1(e); provided, however, that such a Company Change of Recommendation or termination may not be made unless and until: 

(A) the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel that
such Company Competing Proposal is a Company Superior Proposal; 
 (B) the Company Board determines in good faith, after
consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to effect a Company Change of Recommendation in response to such Company Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties owed by the Company Board to the stockholders of the

 (D) after giving such notice and prior to effecting such Company
Change of Recommendation, the Company negotiates (and causes its officers, employees, financial advisor and outside legal counsel to negotiate) in good faith with Parent (to the extent Parent wishes to negotiate) to make such adjustments or
revisions to the terms of this Agreement as would permit the Company Board not to effect a Company Change of Recommendation in response thereto; 

(E) at the end of the four (4) Business Day period, prior to taking action to effect a Company Change of Recommendation,
the Company Board or a committee thereof takes into account any adjustments or revisions to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent in writing and any other information offered by Parent in response to the notice, and determines in good faith
after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the Company Competing Proposal remains a Company Superior Proposal and that the failure to effect a Company Change of Recommendation in response to such Company Superior
Proposal would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties owed by the Company Board to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law; provided, however, that in the event of any amendment or modification to any Company Superior
Proposal, the Company shall be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent and to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.3(e)(iii) with respect to such new written notice; and except that the advance written
notice obligation set forth in this Section 6.3(e)(iii) shall be reduced to two (2) Business Days; provided, further, that any such new written notice shall in no event shorten the original four (4) Business Day
notice period. 
 (iv) prior to, but not after, receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, in response to a Company
Intervening Event that occurs or arises after the date of this Agreement and that did not arise from or in connection with a breach of this Agreement by the Company, the Company may, if the Company Board or a committee thereof so chooses, effect a
Company Change of Recommendation; provided, however, that such a Company Change of Recommendation may not be made unless and until: 

(A) the Company Board or a committee thereof determines in good faith after consultation with its financial advisors and
outside legal counsel that a Company Intervening Event has occurred; 
 (B) the Company Board or a committee thereof
determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to effect a Company Change of Recommendation in response to such Company Intervening Event would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties owed by the Company
Board to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law; 
 (C) the Company provides Parent written notice of such
proposed action and the basis thereof four (4) Business Days in advance, which notice shall set forth in writing that the Company Board intends to take such action and the basis therefor, including a reasonably detailed description of the facts
and circumstances of the Company Intervening Event; 

  
 58 

 (D) after giving such notice and prior to effecting such Company Change of
Recommendation, the Company negotiates (and causes its officers, employees, financial advisor and outside legal counsel to negotiate) in good faith with Parent (to the extent Parent wishes to negotiate) to make such adjustments or revisions to the
terms of this Agreement as would permit the Company Board not to effect a Company Change of Recommendation in response thereto; and 

(E) at the end of the four (4) Business Day period, prior to taking action to effect a Company Change of Recommendation,
the Company Board or a committee thereof takes into account any adjustments or revisions to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent in writing and any other information offered by Parent in response to the notice, and determines in good faith
after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the failure to effect a Company Change of Recommendation in response to such Company Intervening Event would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties owed by the Company
Board to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law; provided, however, that in the event of any material changes regarding any Company Intervening Event, the Company shall be required to deliver a new written notice to
Parent and to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.3(e)(iv) with respect to such new written notice. 

(f) During the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier of the
Effective Time and termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, the Company shall not (and it shall cause its Subsidiaries not to) terminate, amend, modify or waive any provision of any confidentiality,
“standstill” or similar agreement to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is a party; provided, that, notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 6.3, prior to, but not after, the time the Company
Stockholder Approval is obtained, if, in response to an unsolicited request from a third party to waive any “standstill” or similar provision, the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel
that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties owed by the Company Board to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law, the Company may waive any such “standstill” or similar provision solely
to the extent necessary to permit a third party to make a Company Competing Proposal, on a confidential basis, to the Company Board and communicate such waiver to the applicable third party; provided, however, that the Company shall
advise Parent of its intent to take such action at least two (2) Business Days prior to taking such action. The Company represents and warrants to Parent that it has not taken any action that (i) would be prohibited by this
Section 6.3(f) or (ii) but for the ability to avoid actions inconsistent with the fiduciary duties owed by the Company Board to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law, would have been prohibited by this
Section 6.3(f) during the 30 days prior to the date of this Agreement. 
 (g) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 6.3, any action, or failure to take action, that is taken by a Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates that, if taken by the Company, would have been a
breach of this Section 6.3 shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 6.3 by the Company. 

Section 6.4 No Solicitation by Parent. 

(a) From and after the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time or if earlier the termination of this Agreement in
accordance with Article VIII, Parent and its officers and directors will, and will cause Parent’s Subsidiaries and their respective officers and directors to, and will use

(c) From and after the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time or if earlier the termination of this Agreement in

Proposal or any expression of interest, inquiry, proposal or offer with respect to a Parent Competing Proposal made on or after the date of this Agreement, any request for information or data relating to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries made by any

to the Company promptly (and in any event within the shorter of one Business Day and 48 hours) (i) a copy of any such expression of interest, inquiry, proposal or offer with respect to a Parent Competing Proposal made in writing provided to
Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) if any such expression of interest, inquiry, proposal or offer with respect to a Parent Competing Proposal is not (or any portion thereof is not) made in writing, a written summary of the material
financial and other terms thereof, including the identity of the Person making any such expression of interest, inquiry, proposal or offer. Thereafter Parent shall (i) keep the Company reasonably informed, on a prompt basis (and in any event
within the shorter of one Business Day and 48 hours), of any material development regarding the status or terms of any such expressions of interest, proposals or offers (including any amendments thereto) or material requests and shall promptly (and
in any event within the shorter of one Business Day and 48 hours) and (ii) provide to the Company as soon as practicable after receipt or delivery thereof (and in any event within the shorter of one Business Day and 48 hours) copies of all

Acquisition Agreement”); 
 (v) in the case of a Parent Competing Proposal that is structured as a tender offer or
exchange offer for outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock, fail to recommend against acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer by its stockholders on or prior to the earlier of (A) three (3) Business Days prior to the date of the
Company Stockholder Consent Deadline (or promptly after commencement of such tender offer or exchange offer if commenced on or after the third Business Day prior to the date of the Company Stockholder Consent Deadline) or (B) ten (10) business
days (as such term is used in Rule 14d-9 of the Exchange Act) after commencement of such tender offer or exchange offer;

 Section 6.5 Preparation of Consent Solicitation Statement/Information
Statement/Prospectus and Registration Statement. 
 (a) Parent will promptly furnish to the Company such data and
information relating to it, its Subsidiaries (including Merger Sub) and the holders of its capital stock, as the Company may reasonably request for the purpose of including such data and information in the Consent Solicitation Statement/Information
Statement/Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto used by the Company to obtain the adoption by its stockholders of this Agreement. The Company will promptly furnish to Parent such data and information relating to it, its Subsidiaries
and the holders of its capital stock, as Parent may reasonably request for the purpose of including such data and information in the Consent Solicitation Statement/Information Statement/Prospectus and the Registration Statement and any amendments or
supplements thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, each of Parent and the Company will (i) furnish to each other for inclusion in the Consent Solicitation Statement/Information Statement/Prospectus and the Registration Statement all financial
statements of such Party and its Subsidiaries required to be included in the Consent Solicitation Statement/Information Statement/Prospectus and the Registration Statement, and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) cause such
Party’s independent auditor to provide any necessary consents to the inclusion of financial statements or such independent auditor’s reports in the Consent Solicitation Statement/Information Statement/Prospectus and in the Registration
Statement, and (B) cause such Party’s independent petroleum engineers and geologists to provide any necessary consents to the inclusion of their reports with respect to estimates of reserves and future revenue in the Consent Solicitation
Statement/Information Statement/Prospectus and the Registration Statement. 
 (b) Promptly following the date hereof, the
Company and Parent shall cooperate in preparing, and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be filed with the SEC, a mutually acceptable Consent Solicitation Statement/Information Statement/Prospectus relating to the Parent
Stockholder Written Consent and the Company Stockholder Approval and the Registration Statement (of which the Consent Solicitation Statement/Information Statement/Prospectus will be a part). The Company and Parent shall each use reasonable best
efforts to cause the Registration Statement and the Consent Solicitation Statement/Information Statement/Prospectus to comply with the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC and to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff. The
Company and Parent shall each use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act as soon after such filing as reasonably practicable, and the Company and Parent shall each use reasonable
best efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective as long as is necessary to consummate the Merger. Parent will advise the Company promptly after it receives any request by the SEC for amendment of the Consent Solicitation
Statement/Information Statement/Prospectus or the Registration Statement or comments thereon and responses thereto or any request by the SEC for additional information. Each of the Company and Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to cause all
information and documents that it has provided for inclusion in any filing with the SEC in connection with the Transactions to comply as to form and substance in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to filing the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the mailing of the Consent Solicitation Statement/Information Statement/Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement
thereto) or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect thereto, Parent (i) will provide the Company with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or response (including the proposed final version of such document
or response), (ii) shall include in such document or response all comments reasonably and promptly proposed by the Company and (iii) shall not file or mail such document or respond to the SEC prior to receiving the approval of the Company,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 

  
 62 

 (c) Parent shall make all necessary filings with respect to the Merger and
the Transactions under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and applicable blue sky laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Parent will advise the Company, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the time when the Registration
Statement has become effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, the issuance of any stop order, and the suspension of the qualification of the Parent Common Stock issuable in connection with the Merger or pursuant to
Section 3.2 for offering or sale in any jurisdiction. Each of the Company and Parent will use reasonable best efforts to have any such stop order or suspension lifted, reversed or otherwise terminated. 

(d) If at any time prior to the Effective Time, any information relating to Parent or the Company, or any of their respective
Affiliates, officers or directors, should be discovered by Parent or the Company that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Consent Solicitation Statement/Information Statement/Prospectus, so that
such documents would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party which discovers
such information shall promptly notify the other Party and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed by Parent with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminated to the
stockholders of the Company and Parent. 
 Section 6.6 Company Consent Solicitation and Parent Stockholder Written Consent. 

(a) The Company shall take all action necessary in accordance with applicable Laws and the Organizational Documents of the
Company to distribute to the Company’s stockholders the Consent Solicitation Statement/Information Statement/Prospectus, which shall include a form of written consent that may be executed by the Company’s stockholders, for the purpose of
obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, as promptly as reasonably practicable following (i) the clearance of the Consent Solicitation Statement/Information Statement/Prospectus by the SEC, (ii) the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement, and (iii) the provision by Parent to the Company of an electronic version of such Consent Solicitation Statement/Information Statement/Prospectus in a form that may be distributed to Company stockholders (the date of such
distribution to the Company’s stockholders being the “Information Statement/Prospectus Distribution Date”) (and in any event within two (2) Business Days thereof). Except as permitted by
Section 6.3, the Company Board shall recommend that the stockholders of the Company provide written consents in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and the Company Board shall solicit from stockholders of the Company
consents in favor of the adoption of this Agreement, and the Consent Solicitation Statement/Information Statement/Prospectus shall include the Company Board Recommendation. If requested by Parent, the Company shall promptly provide all written
consent tabulation reports relating to the Company Stockholder Approval that have been prepared by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent, consent solicitor or other Representative, and shall otherwise keep Parent reasonably informed
regarding the status of the solicitation and any material oral or written communications from or to the Company’s stockholders with respect thereto. Unless there has been a Company Change of Recommendation in accordance with
Section 6.3, the Parties agree to cooperate and use their reasonable best efforts to defend against any efforts by any of the Company’s stockholders or any other Person to prevent the Company Stockholder Approval from
being obtained. Once the Company has established a record date for the purpose of determining the Company’s stockholders entitled to deliver written consents with respect to the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company shall not change such
record date or establish a different 

  
 63 

 
record date without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless required to do so by applicable Law or its
Organizational Documents. Without the prior written consent of Parent or as required by applicable Law, (i) the Company Stockholder Approval shall be the only matter (other than matters of procedure) that the Company shall propose to be
consented to by the stockholders of the Company and the Company shall not submit any other proposal to such stockholders in connection with the consent solicitation contemplated herein or otherwise (including any proposal inconsistent with the
adoption of this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions), provided, however, that such consent solicitation also may include a proposal with respect to approval by the stockholders of the Company of any “parachute
payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) the Company shall not call any meeting of the stockholders of the Company. 

(b) On the date of this Agreement, and as soon as practicable after the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
Parties, Parent will provide the Company with a copy of the Parent Stockholder Written Consent (including by facsimile or other electronic image scan transmission). In connection with the Parent Stockholder Written Consent, Parent shall take all
actions necessary to comply with the DGCL, including Section 228 thereof, and the Organizational Documents of Parent. If, prior to the Effective Time or the earlier termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII, for any reason
the Parent Stockholder Written Consent ceases to be valid and in full force or otherwise does not constitute the Parent Stockholder Approval, Parent shall (i) seek to obtain as promptly as practicable a written consent duly executed by the
Majority Stockholders or other stockholders of Parent that constitutes the Parent Stockholder Approval and (ii) as soon as practicable after receipt by Parent of such written consent, provide the Company with a copy thereof (including by
facsimile or other electronic image scan transmission). In all cases, the Parent Board shall recommend that the stockholders of Parent approve the Parent Stock Issuance. 

(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Company and Parent agrees that the Company’s obligation
to solicit from stockholders of the Company consents in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and the Parent’s obligation to deliver the Parent Stockholder Written Consent or to obtain and deliver any other written consent of stockholders of
Parent pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall not be affected by the making of a Company Change of Recommendation or a Parent Change of Recommendation, as applicable, and its obligations pursuant to this
Section 6.6 shall not be affected by the commencement, announcement, disclosure, or communication to the Company or Parent, as applicable, of any Company Competing Proposal or Parent Competing Proposal or other proposal
(including, in the case of the Company, a Company Superior Proposal) or the occurrence or disclosure of any Company Intervening Event. 

Section 6.7 Access to Information. 

(a) Subject to applicable Law and the other provisions of this Section 6.7, during the period prior
to the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms of Section 8.1, the Company and Parent each shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to), upon request by the other, furnish
the other with all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and stockholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the Consent Solicitation Statement/Information
Statement/Prospectus, the Registration Statement, or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any third party or any Governmental Entity in connection
with the Transactions. The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to Parent and its Representatives, during the period prior to the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms
of Section 8.1, 

  
 64 

 
reasonable access, at reasonable times upon reasonable prior notice, to the officers, key employees, agents, properties, offices and other facilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries and to
their books, records, contracts and documents and shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, furnish reasonably promptly to Parent and its Representatives such information concerning its and its Subsidiaries’ business, properties,
contracts, records and personnel as may be reasonably requested, from time to time, by or on behalf of Parent. Parent and its Representatives shall conduct any such activities in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the business or
operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries or otherwise cause any unreasonable interference with the prompt and timely discharge by the employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries of their normal duties. Notwithstanding the foregoing: 

(i) No Party shall be required to, or to cause any of its Subsidiaries to, grant access or furnish information, as applicable,
to the other Party or any of its Representatives to the extent that such information is subject to an attorney/client privilege or the attorney work product doctrine or that such access or the furnishing of such information, as applicable, is
prohibited by applicable Law or an existing contract or agreement (provided, however, the Company or Parent, as applicable, shall inform the other Party as to the general nature of what is being withheld and the Company and Parent
shall reasonably cooperate to make appropriate substitute arrangements to permit reasonable disclosure that does not suffer from any of the foregoing impediments, including through the use of commercially reasonable efforts to (A) obtain the
required consent or waiver of any third party required to provide such information and (B) implement appropriate and mutually agreeable measures to permit the disclosure of such information in a manner to remove the basis for the objection,
including by arrangement of appropriate clean room procedures, redaction or entry into a customary joint defense agreement with respect to any information to be so provided, if the Parties determine that doing so would reasonably permit the
disclosure of such information without violating applicable Law or jeopardizing such privilege); 
 (ii) No Party shall have
access to personnel records of the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries relating to individual performance or evaluation records, personally identifiable information, medical records or other information that in the other Party’s good faith
opinion the disclosure of which could subject the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries to risk of liability; 
 (iii) No
Party shall be permitted to conduct any sampling or analysis of any environmental media or building materials at any facility of the other Party or its Subsidiaries without the prior written consent of such other Party (granted or withheld in its
sole discretion); and 
 (iv) No investigation or information provided pursuant to this Section 6.7
shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub herein. 
 (b)
The Mutual Confidentiality Agreement dated as of April 25, 2018 between Parent and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and shall apply to all information
furnished thereunder or hereunder. 
 (c) The Parties will maintain, and continue to provide the other Party and its
Representatives access to, the electronic or other virtual data rooms created by or on behalf of such Party prior to the date hereof. 

  
 65 

 Section 6.8 HSR and Other Approvals. 

(a) Except for the filings and notifications made pursuant to Antitrust Laws to which Sections 6.8(b), (c),
(d) and (e), and not this Section 6.8(a), shall apply, promptly following the execution of this Agreement, the Parties shall proceed to prepare and file with the appropriate Governmental Entities and other
third parties all authorizations, consents, notifications, certifications, registrations, declarations and filings that are necessary in order to consummate the Transactions and shall diligently and expeditiously prosecute, and shall cooperate fully
with each other in the prosecution of, such matters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall either the Company or Parent or any of their respective Affiliates be required to pay any consideration to any third parties or give anything of
value to obtain any such Person’s authorization, approval, consent or waiver to effectuate the Transactions, other than filing, recordation or similar fees. Subject to applicable Law relating to the exchange of information, Parent shall have
the right to direct all matters with any Government Entity; provided, however, that Parent and the Company shall have the right to review in advance and, to the extent reasonably practicable, each will consult with the other on and
consider in good faith the views of the other in connection with, all of the information relating to Parent or the Company, as applicable, and any of their respective Subsidiaries, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted
to, any third party or any Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions (including the Consent Solicitation Statement/Information Statement/Prospectus). The Company and its Subsidiaries shall not agree to any actions, restrictions or
conditions with respect to obtaining any consents, registrations, approvals, permits, expirations of waiting periods or authorizations in connection with the Transactions without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent, subject to
Section 6.8(b), shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Parent and its Subsidiaries shall not agree to any actions, restrictions or conditions with respect to obtaining any consents, registrations,
approvals, permits, expirations of waiting periods or authorizations in connection with the Transactions without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent, subject to Section 6.8(b), shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed). 
 (b) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the execution of this Agreement,
but in no event later than fifteen (15) Business Days following the date of this Agreement, the Parties shall make any filings required under the HSR Act. Each of Parent and the Company shall cooperate fully with each other and shall furnish to
the other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of any filings under any applicable Antitrust Laws. Unless otherwise agreed, Parent and the Company shall each use
commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the prompt expiration of any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act. Parent and the Company shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to and comply with any request for information from
any Governmental Entity charged with enforcing, applying, administering, or investigating the HSR Act or any other Law designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions for the purpose or effect of mergers, monopolization, restraining trade or
abusing a dominant position (collectively, “Antitrust Laws”), including the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice, any attorney general of any state of the United States or any other competition authority of any
jurisdiction (“Antitrust Authority”). 
 (c) Each of Parent and the Company shall, in connection with the
efforts referenced in Section 6.8(b), (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including any proceeding initiated by a
private party; (ii) promptly notify the other Party of any communication concerning this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby to that Party from or with any Governmental Entity, or from any other Person alleging that the
consent of such person (or another 

  
 66 

 
Person) is or may be required in connection with the Transactions, and consider in good faith the views of the other Party and keep the other Party reasonably informed of the status of matters
related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including furnishing the other Party with any written notices or other communications received by such Party from, or given by such Party to, any Governmental Entity and of any
communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case regarding any of the transactions contemplated hereby, except that any materials concerning one Party’s valuation of the other Party may be
redacted; and (iii) permit the other Party to review in draft any proposed communication to be submitted by it to any Governmental Entity with reasonable time and opportunity to comment, and consult with each other in advance of any in-person or telephonic meeting or conference with any Governmental Entity or, in connection with any proceeding by a private party, with any other Person, and, to the extent permitted by the applicable Governmental
Entity or Person, not agree to participate in any meeting or discussion with any Governmental Entity relating to any filings or investigations concerning this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby unless it consults with the other
Party and its Representatives in advance and invites the other Party’s Representatives to attend in accordance with applicable Laws. The parties shall take reasonable efforts to share information protected from disclosure under the
attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine, joint defense privilege or any other privilege pursuant to this section so as to preserve any applicable privilege. 

(d) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of Parent and the Company and each of their respective
Subsidiaries shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve objections, if any, as may be asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any Laws, including any Antitrust Laws; provided, however,
that in no event shall Parent or any of its Affiliates or the Company or any of its Affiliates be required, under the HSR Act or any Antitrust Laws, to (i) propose, negotiate, agree to or effect, by consent decree, hold separate order or
otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of any material assets or material businesses of such Person, (ii) accept any condition, undertake any obligation, or take or refrain from taking any action that would materially limit such
Person’s freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to own or operate, any of its material businesses or material assets; (iii) contest, resist or seek to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any governmental order or
judicial order that is in effect that prohibits, prevents or materially restricts the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (iv) litigate or defend against any administrative or judicial action or proceeding
(including any proceeding seeking a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction) challenging any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 

(e) Parent and Merger Sub shall not take any action that could reasonably be expected to hinder or delay in any material
respect the obtaining of clearance or the expiration of the required waiting period under the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Law. 

Section 6.9 Employee Matters. 

(a) From and after the Effective Time, as applicable, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its
Subsidiaries to, take commercially reasonable efforts to credit the Company Employees for purposes of vesting, eligibility and benefit accrual under the Parent Plans (other than with respect to any “defined benefit plan” as defined in
Section 3(35) of ERISA, retiree medical benefits or disability benefits or to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits) in which the Company Employees participate, for such Company Employees’ service with the Company and its
Subsidiaries, to the same extent and for the same purposes that such service was taken into account under a corresponding Company Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date. Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its
Subsidiaries, to give service credit for long term disability coverage purposes for the Company Employees’ service with the Company and its Subsidiaries. 

  
 67 

 (b) From and after the Effective Time, as applicable, Parent shall, or shall
cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, take commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive any limitation on health and welfare coverage of any Company Employee and his or her eligible dependents due to waiting periods, active
employment requirements and requirements to show evidence of good health under the applicable health and welfare Parent Plan to the extent such Company Employee and his or her eligible dependents are covered under an a Company Plan immediately prior
to the Closing Date, and such conditions, periods or requirements are satisfied or waived under such Company Plan and (ii) give each Company Employee credit for the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs towards applicable deductibles and
annual out-of-pocket limits for medical expenses incurred prior to the Closing Date for which payment has been made, in each case, to the extent permitted by the
applicable insurance plan provider. 
 (c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or the appropriate committee
thereof) shall adopt resolutions and take such corporate action as is necessary to terminate the Company’s 401(k) plan (the “Company 401(k) Plan”) and to ensure that the account balances of the participants in the
Company 401(k) Plan are fully vested upon such plan termination, in each case effective as of the day prior to the Closing Date. Prior to the Effective Time and thereafter (as applicable), Parent shall take commercially reasonable efforts, including
adopting or causing the adoption of amendments to the tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan designated by Parent (the “Parent 401(k) Plan”) to (i) permit each Company
Employee to make rollover contributions of “eligible rollover distributions” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) in the form of cash or promissory notes in an amount equal to the full account balance distributed or
distributable to such Company Employee from the Company 401(k) Plan to the Parent 401(k) Plan, including any outstanding loans. Each Company Employee who satisfies the eligibility requirements for participation in the Parent 401(k) Plan (after
giving effect to the service crediting provisions of Section 6.9(a)) shall become a participant in the Parent 401(k) Plan on the Closing Date (giving effect to the service crediting provisions of
Section 6.9(a)), it being agreed that there shall be no gap in participation in a tax-qualified defined contribution plan. 

(d) Nothing in this Agreement generally, or this Section 6.9 specifically, shall be deemed or
construed to (i) constitute an amendment to, or be construed as amending, any Employee Benefit Plan sponsored, maintained or contributed to by the Company, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (ii) limit Parent’s or its
Subsidiaries’ right to amend any Employee Benefit Plan sponsored, maintained or contributed to by the Company, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries or other compensation or benefit plan or arrangement for any purpose;
(iii) require Parent or its Subsidiaries to maintain any particular Employee Benefit Plan; (iv) require Parent or its Subsidiaries to continue to employ or retain the services of any particular employee or other service provider for any
period after Closing; (v) create a right in any employee to employment with Parent or its Subsidiaries; or (vi) limit the right of Parent or its Subsidiaries to terminate the employment of any employee following Closing. The provisions of
this Section 6.9 are for the sole benefit of the parties and nothing herein, expressed or implied, is intended or will be construed to confer upon or give to any Person (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Company
Employee or other current or former employee of the Company or any of their respective Affiliates), other than the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies (including with
respect to the matters provided for in this Section 6.9) under or by reason of any provision of this Agreement. 

  
 68 

 (e) From the date of this Agreement until the Closing, (i) the Company
shall provide Parent with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on all written or broad-based oral communications to employees and other individual service providers of the Company and its Subsidiaries related to the transactions
contemplated hereby, including in regard to employment or compensation or benefits matters addressed in this Agreement or to be provided following the Closing; (ii) Parent shall provide the Company with a reasonable opportunity to review and
comment on all written or broad-based oral communications to employees and other individual service providers of Parent and its Subsidiaries related to the transactions contemplated hereby, including in regard to employment or compensation or
benefits matters addressed in this Agreement or to be provided following the Closing; and (iii) the Company and Parent shall cooperate in good faith regarding any such communications. 

Section 6.10 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance. 

(a) Without limiting any other rights that any Indemnified Person may have pursuant to any employment agreement or
indemnification agreement in effect on the date hereof or otherwise, from the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Person who is now, or has been at any time
prior to the date of this Agreement or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or who acts as a fiduciary under any Company Plan, in each case, when acting in such capacity (the
“Indemnified Persons”) against all losses, claims, damages, costs, fines, penalties, expenses (including attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses), liabilities or judgments or amounts that are paid in
settlement, of or incurred in connection with any threatened or actual Proceeding to which such Indemnified Person is a party or is otherwise involved (including as a witness) based, in whole or in part, on or arising, in whole or in part, out of
the fact that such Person is or was a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, a fiduciary under any Company Plan or is or was serving at the request of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a director, officer or fiduciary
of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, Employee Benefit Plan, trust or other enterprise, as applicable, or by reason of anything done or not done by such Person in any such capacity, whether pertaining to any
act or omission occurring or existing prior to or at, but not after, the Effective Time and whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time (“Indemnified Liabilities”), including all Indemnified Liabilities
based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to, this Agreement or the Transactions, in each case to the same extent such Indemnified Person is indemnified as of the date of this Agreement by the Company or its
Subsidiaries pursuant to the Organizational Documents of the Company or the Organizational Documents of any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable (and Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, pay expenses incurred in
connection therewith in advance of the final disposition of any such Proceeding to each Indemnified Person to the same extent such Indemnified Person is indemnified as of the date of this Agreement by the Company or its Subsidiaries pursuant to the
Organizational Documents of the Company or the Organizational Documents of any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable). Without limiting the foregoing, in the event any such Proceeding is brought or threatened to be brought against any Indemnified
Persons (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) the Indemnified Persons may retain the Company’s regularly engaged legal counsel or other counsel satisfactory to them, and Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly
and severally, pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Persons as promptly as statements therefor are received, and (ii) each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall use its best efforts to cooperate in
the defense of any such matter. Any Indemnified Person wishing to claim indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Section 6.10, upon learning of any such Proceeding, shall notify Parent (but the failure so to
notify shall not relieve a Party from any obligations that it may have under this Section 6.10 

  
 69 

 
except to the extent such failure materially prejudices such Party’s position with respect to such claims). With respect to any determination of whether any Indemnified Person is entitled to
indemnification by Parent or the Surviving Corporation under this Section 6.10, such Indemnified Person shall have the right, as contemplated by the DGCL, to require that such determination be made by special, independent
legal counsel selected by the Indemnified Person and approved by Parent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and who has not otherwise performed material services for Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Indemnified
Person within the last three (3) years. 
 (b) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not amend, repeal or otherwise
modify any provision in the Organizational Documents of the Surviving Corporation in any manner that would affect (or manage the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries, with the intent to or in a manner that would) adversely the rights thereunder
or under the Organizational Documents of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries of any Indemnified Person to indemnification, exculpation and advancement except to the extent required by applicable Law. Parent shall, and shall cause
the Surviving Corporation to, fulfill and honor any indemnification, expense advancement or exculpation agreements between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any of its directors, officers or employees existing and in effect prior to the
date of this Agreement. 
 (c) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, indemnify any Indemnified
Person against all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), such amounts to be payable in advance upon request as provided in Section 6.10(a), relating to the enforcement of
such Indemnified Person’s rights under this Section 6.10 or under any charter, bylaw or contract regardless of whether such Indemnified Person is ultimately determined to be entitled to indemnification hereunder or
thereunder. 
 (d) Parent shall obtain or cause the Surviving Corporation to obtain, and Parent shall fully prepay
immediately prior to the Effective Time, “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of at least six (6) years from the Effective Time (the “Tail Period”) from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit
rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) in an amount and scope at least as favorable as the Company’s existing policies
with respect to matters, acts or omissions existing or occurring at or prior to, but not after, the Effective Time; provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate cost of the D&O Insurance exceed during the Tail Period
300% of the current aggregate annual premium paid by the Company for such purpose; and provided, further, that if the cost of such insurance coverage exceeds such amount, Parent shall obtain or cause the Surviving Corporation to obtain
a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount. 
 (e) In the event that Parent or the
Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assignees (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or
substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set
forth in this Section 6.10. Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not sell, transfer, distribute or otherwise dispose of any of their assets in a manner that would reasonably be expected to render Parent or Surviving
Corporation unable to satisfy their obligations under this Section 6.10. The provisions of this Section 6.10 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Parties and each
Person entitled to indemnification or insurance coverage or expense advancement pursuant to this Section 6.10, and his heirs and Representatives. The rights of the Indemnified Persons under this
Section 6.10 are in addition to any rights such Indemnified Persons may have under the Organizational Documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or under any applicable contracts or Law. Parent and the Surviving
Corporation shall pay all expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Person in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 6.10.

litigation (“Transaction Litigation”), the Company or Parent, as applicable, shall promptly notify the other Party of such Transaction Litigation and shall keep the other Party reasonably informed with respect to the status thereof.

prior written approval of the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party, its Subsidiaries or their Representatives may issue a public announcement or other public disclosures (a) required by applicable Law, (b) required by the
rules of any stock exchange upon which such Party’s or its Subsidiary’s capital stock is traded or (c) consistent with the final form of the joint press release announcing the Merger and the investor presentation given to investors on
the morning of announcement of the Merger; provided, in each case, such Party uses reasonable best efforts to afford the other Party an opportunity to first review the content of the proposed disclosure and provide reasonable comments
thereon; and provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 6.9(g), no provision this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict in any manner a Party’s ability to communicate with its or its
Subsidiaries’ employees and that neither Party shall be required by any provision of this Agreement to consult with or obtain any approval from any other Party with respect to a public announcement or press release issued in connection with the

with this Agreement and the Transactions. Without limiting in any way any Party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement shall give any Party, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the
other Party and their respective Subsidiaries’ operations prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, each of the Parties shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision
over its and its Subsidiaries’ respective operations.

remedies set forth in this Section 8.3 and the specific performance remedies set forth in Section 9.11 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of (i) the Company and its Subsidiaries against

Sub or any of their respective former, current or future directors, officers, shareholders, Representatives or Affiliates shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions, except for the
liability of Parent in the case of fraud or a Willful and Material Breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation; and (ii) Parent and Merger Sub against the Company and its Subsidiaries and any of their respective former, current or future

Section 9.4 Rules of Construction. 

(a) Each of the Parties acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel of its choice throughout all negotiations that
have preceded the execution of this Agreement and that it has executed the same with the advice of said independent counsel. Each Party and its counsel cooperated in the drafting and preparation of this Agreement and the documents referred to
herein, and any and all drafts relating thereto exchanged between the Parties shall be deemed the work product of the Parties and may not be construed against any Party by reason of its preparation. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision
that would require interpretation of any ambiguities in this Agreement against any Party that drafted it is of no application and is hereby expressly waived. 

(b) The inclusion of any information in the Company Disclosure Letter or Parent Disclosure Letter shall not be deemed an
admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself and solely by virtue of the inclusion of such information in the Company Disclosure Letter or Parent Disclosure Letter, as applicable, that such information is required to be listed in the Company
Disclosure Letter or Parent Disclosure Letter, as applicable, that such items are material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as the case may be, or that such items have resulted
in a Company Material Adverse Effect or a Parent Material Adverse Effect. The headings, if any, of the individual sections of each of the Parent Disclosure Letter and Company Disclosure Letter are inserted for convenience only and shall not be
deemed to constitute a part thereof or a part of this Agreement. The Company Disclosure Letter and Parent Disclosure Letter are arranged in sections corresponding to the Sections of this Agreement merely for convenience, and the disclosure of an
item in one section of the Company Disclosure Letter or Parent Disclosure Letter, as applicable, as an exception to a particular representation or warranty shall be deemed adequately disclosed as an exception with respect to all other
representations or warranties to the extent that the relevance of such item to such representations or warranties is reasonably apparent on its face, notwithstanding the presence or absence of an appropriate section of the Company Disclosure Letter
or Parent Disclosure Letter with respect to such other representations or warranties or an appropriate cross reference thereto. 

(c) The specification of any dollar amount in the representations and warranties or otherwise in this Agreement or in the
Company Disclosure Letter or Parent Disclosure Letter is not intended and shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment of the materiality of such amounts or items, nor shall the same be used in any dispute or controversy between the
Parties to determine whether any obligation, item or matter (whether or not described herein or included in any schedule) is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. 

  
 82 

 (d) All references in this Agreement to Annexes, Exhibits, Schedules,
Articles, Sections, subsections and other subdivisions refer to the corresponding Annexes, Exhibits, Schedules, Articles, Sections, subsections and other subdivisions of this Agreement unless expressly provided otherwise. Titles appearing at the
beginning of any Articles, Sections, subsections or other subdivisions of this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute any part of such Articles, Sections, subsections or other subdivisions, and shall be disregarded in construing the
language contained therein. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder” and “hereof” and words of similar import, refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular
subdivision unless expressly so limited. The words “this Section,” “this subsection” and words of similar import, refer only to the Sections or subsections hereof in which such words occur. The word “including” (in its

form shall be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise expressly requires. Unless the context otherwise requires, all defined terms contained herein shall include the singular and plural and the conjunctive and
disjunctive forms of such defined terms. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to a specific time shall refer to Houston, Texas time. The word “or” is not exclusive. The word “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.” The term “dollars” and the symbol “$” mean United States Dollars. The words “made
available” with respect to any documents to be made available to any Party means that such document was in the electronic data room relating to the Transactions maintained by the Company or Parent, as applicable, one Business Day prior to the
date of execution of this Agreement. The table of contents and headings herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof.

“days” mean calendar days; when calculating the period of time within which, or following which, any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference day in calculating such period shall be
excluded and if the last day of the period is a non-Business Day, the period in question shall end on the next Business Day or if any action must be taken hereunder on or by a day that is not a Business Day,
then such action may be validly taken on or by the next day that is a Business Day. 
 Section 9.5 Counterparts. This Agreement
may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, including via facsimile or email in “portable document format” (“pdf”) form transmission, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become
effective when two (2) or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties, it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart. 

  
 83 

 Section 9.6 Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement
(together with the Confidentiality Agreement, the Company Voting Agreements, the Parent Voting Agreement and any other documents and instruments executed pursuant hereto) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except for the provisions of (a) Article III (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the rights of the former holders of Company Common
Stock and holders of Company RSUs and Company Restricted Stock and Company PIA Holders to receive the Merger Consideration or other payments pursuant to Section 3.2) but only from and after the Effective Time and

and after the Effective Time, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than the Parties any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. 

Section 9.7 Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.

INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR
OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (II) SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (III) SUCH PARTY MAKES THE FOREGOING
WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (IV) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.7. 

Section 9.8 Severability. Each Party agrees that, should any court or other competent authority hold any provision of this
Agreement or part hereof to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such other
term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the
parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible. Except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, in response to an order from
a court or other competent authority for any Party to take any action inconsistent herewith or not to take an action consistent herewith or required hereby, to the extent that a Party took an action inconsistent with this Agreement or failed to take
action consistent with this Agreement or required by this Agreement pursuant to such order, such Party shall not incur any liability or obligation unless such Party did not in good faith seek to resist or object to the imposition or entering of such
order. 
 Section 9.9 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be
assigned by any of the Parties (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Party. 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 permitted assigns. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 9.9 shall be void. 

Section 9.10 Affiliate Liability. Each of the following is herein referred to as a “Company Affiliate”): (a) any
direct or indirect holder of equity interests or securities in the Company (whether stockholders or otherwise), and (b) any director, officer, employee, Representative or agent of (i) the Company or (ii) any Person who controls the
Company. No Company Affiliate shall have any liability or obligation to Parent or Merger Sub of any nature whatsoever in connection with or under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for fraud, and Parent and
Merger Sub hereby waive and release all claims of any such liability and obligation, other than for fraud. Each of the following is herein referred to as a “Parent Affiliate”): (x) any direct or indirect holder of equity interests
or securities in Parent (whether stockholders or otherwise), and (y) any director, officer, employee, Representative or agent of (i) Parent or (ii) any Person who controls Parent. No Parent Affiliate shall have any liability or
obligation to the Company of any nature whatsoever in connection with or under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for fraud, and the Company hereby waive and release all claims of any such liability and
obligation, other than for fraud. 

  
 85 

 Section 9.11 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage,
for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, 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 by the Parties. Prior to the
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, it is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, or any other appropriate form of specific performance or equitable relief,
to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction, in each case in accordance with this Section 9.11, this being in addition to any
other remedy to which they are entitled under the terms of this Agreement at law or in equity. Each Party accordingly agrees not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain
breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of such Party under this Agreement all in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.11. 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 9.11, and each Party
irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument. If prior to the End Date, any Party hereto brings an action to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and
provisions hereof by any other Party, the End Date shall automatically be extended by such other time period established by the court presiding over such action. 

Section 9.12 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the Parties at any time before or after adoption of this Agreement by the
stockholders of the Company, but, after any such adoption, no amendment shall be made which by law would require the further approval by such stockholders without first obtaining such further approval. This Agreement may not be amended except by an
instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties. 
 Section 9.13 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the
Effective Time, the Company and Parent may, to the extent legally allowed: 
 (a) extend the time for the performance of any
of the obligations or acts of the other Party hereunder; 
 (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties
of the other Party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto; or 
 (c) waive compliance with any of the
agreements or conditions of the other Party contained herein. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by the Company or Parent
in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder. No agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or
waiver shall be valid unless set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party.

 (v)

exchange may be made, with such adjustments, if any, as shall be stated and expressed or provided for in such resolution or resolutions; 

(ix)     whether or not the holders of shares of any class or series shall have any preemptive rights, and

 (c)
    The shares of each class or series of Preferred Stock may vary from the shares of any other class or series thereof in any or all of the foregoing respects. 

2.    Provisions Relating to Common Stock. 

(a)     Each share of Common Stock shall have identical rights and privileges in every respect. Common
Stock shall be subject to the express terms of Preferred Stock and any class or series thereof. Except as may otherwise be provided in this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, in a Preferred Stock Designation or by applicable
law, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each such share upon all questions presented to the stockholders, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors
and for all other purposes, and the holders of Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to vote at or receive notice of any meeting of stockholders. Each holder of Common Stock shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders meeting in accordance with
the bylaws of the Corporation (as in effect at the time in question) and applicable law at which any matter is to be put to a vote of the holders of Common Stock. 

(b)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise required by applicable law, holders of Common
Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding classes or series
of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected class or series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other classes or series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation) or pursuant to the DGCL. 

  
 3 

 (c)     Subject to the prior rights and preferences, if
any, applicable to shares of Preferred Stock or any class or series thereof, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive ratably in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock held by them such dividends and
distributions (payable in cash, securities or otherwise), if any, as may be declared thereon by the Board at any time and from time to time out of any funds of the Corporation legally available therefor. 

(d)     In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, after distribution in full of the preferential amounts, if any, to be distributed to the holders of shares of Preferred Stock or any class or series thereof, the holders of shares of
Common Stock shall be entitled to receive all of the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock held by them. A liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, as such terms are used in this paragraph (d), shall not be deemed to be occasioned by or to include any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other
corporation or corporations or other entity or a sale, lease, exchange or conveyance of all or a part of the assets of the Corporation. 

(e)     The number of authorized shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased
(but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon irrespective of the provisions of
Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL (or any successor provision thereto), and no vote of the holders of either Common Stock or Preferred Stock voting separately as a class shall be required therefor. 

FIFTH: The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board. Subject to the rights of
the holders of any class or series of Preferred Stock to elect directors under specified circumstances, if any, the number of directors shall be fixed from time to time exclusively pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board. All
directors shall be of one class and serve for a term ending at the annual meeting following the annual meeting at which the director was elected. Unless and except to the extent that the bylaws of the Corporation so provide, the election of
directors need not be by written ballot. Any newly created directorship that results from an increase in the number of directors or any vacancy on the Board that results from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of any director or
from any other cause shall be filled solely by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director and shall not be filled by the stockholders. Any director
elected to fill a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall hold office for the remaining term of his or her predecessor. No decrease in the number of authorized directors constituting the Board shall shorten the term
of any incumbent director. 
 SIXTH: Subject to the rights of holders of any class or series of Preferred Stock with respect to such
class or series of Preferred Stock, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be taken at a duly held annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be taken by any consent in writing of such
stockholders. 
 SEVENTH: Subject to the rights of holders of any class or series of Preferred Stock with respect to such class or
series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of directors
that the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies. Subject to the rights of holders of any class or series of Preferred Stock, the stockholders of the Corporation do not have the power to call a special meeting of stockholders of the
Corporation. 

  
 4 

 EIGHTH: In furtherance of, and not in limitation of, the powers conferred by the laws
of the State of Delaware, the Board is expressly authorized to adopt, alter, amend or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation without any action on the part of the stockholders of the Corporation. The provisions of this Article Eighth
notwithstanding, the bylaws of the Corporation shall not be adopted, altered, amended or repealed by the stockholders of the Corporation except by the vote of holders of not less than 66 2/3% in voting power of the then-outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class. No bylaws hereafter adopted, nor any repeal of or amendment or alteration
thereto, shall invalidate any prior act of the Board that was valid at the time it was taken. 
 NINTH: No director of the
Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as it
now exists. In addition to the circumstances in which a director of the Corporation is not personally liable as set forth in the preceding sentence, a director of the Corporation shall not be liable to the fullest extent permitted by any amendment
to the DGCL hereafter enacted that further limits the liability of a director. 
 Any amendment, repeal or modification of this Article
Ninth shall be prospective only and shall not affect any limitation on liability of a director for acts or omissions occurring prior to the date of such amendment, repeal or modification. 

TENTH: To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, renounces any
interest or expectancy of the Corporation and its subsidiaries in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunities that are from time to time presented to any of The Hulburt Family II Limited Partnership, a
Pennsylvania limited partnership, EnCap Energy Capital Fund VIII, L.P., a Texas limited partnership, EnCap Energy Capital Fund VIII Co-Investors, L.P., a Texas limited partnership, and EnCap Energy Capital
Fund IX, L.P., a Texas limited partnership and their respective Affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) (each, a
“Sponsor” and together, the “Sponsor Group”) (or any agents, stockholders, members, partners, directors, officers or employees of the Sponsor Group) or any of their respective affiliates or any of their respective
agents, stockholders, members, partners, directors, officers, employees, affiliates or subsidiaries (other than the Corporation and its subsidiaries) (each, a “Specified Person”), including any director or officer of the Corporation
who is also a Specified Person, even if the business opportunity is one that the Corporation or its subsidiaries might reasonably be deemed to have pursued or had the ability or desire to pursue if granted the opportunity to do so, and no such
person shall have any duty to communicate or offer any such business opportunity to the Corporation or be liable to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or any stockholder, including for breach of any fiduciary or other duty, as a director or
officer or controlling stockholder or otherwise, and the Corporation shall indemnify each such person against any claim that such person is liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty, by reason of the fact that
such person (i) participates in, pursues or acquires any such business opportunity, (ii) directs any such business opportunity to another person or (iii) fails to present any such business opportunity, or information regarding any
such business opportunity, to the Corporation or its subsidiaries, unless, in the case of a Specified Person who is a director or officer of the Corporation, such business opportunity is expressly offered to such director or officer in writing
solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation. 
 Neither the amendment nor repeal of this Article Tenth,
nor the adoption of any provision of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the Corporation, nor, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, any modification of law, shall eliminate, reduce or otherwise
adversely affect any right or protection of any person granted pursuant hereto existing at, or arising out of or related to any event, act or omission that occurred prior to, the time of such amendment, repeal, adoption

  
 5 

 
or modification (regardless of when any proceeding (or part thereof) relating to such event, act or omission arises or is first threatened, commenced or completed). 

If any provision or provisions of this Article Tenth shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any
circumstance for any reason whatsoever, (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Article Tenth (including, without limitation, each portion of any
paragraph of this Article Tenth containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and (b) to
the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article Tenth (including, without limitation, each such portion of any paragraph of this Article Tenth containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable)
shall be construed so as to permit the Corporation to protect its directors, officers, employees and agents from personal liability in respect of their good faith service to or for the benefit of the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law. 
 This Article Tenth shall not limit any protections or defenses available to, or indemnification or advancement
rights of, any director or officer of the Corporation under this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the bylaws of the Corporation or applicable law. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any
securities of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, including this Article Tenth. 

ELEVENTH: The Corporation shall not be governed by or subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL as now in effect or
hereafter amended, or any successor statute thereto, as permitted under and pursuant to subsection (b)(3) thereof. 
 TWELFTH: The
Corporation shall have the right, subject to any express provisions or restrictions contained in this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the Corporation, from time to time, to amend, alter or repeal any
provision of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in any manner now or hereafter provided by applicable law, and all rights and powers of any kind conferred upon a director or stockholder of the Corporation by this Second
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or any amendment hereof are subject to such right of the Corporation. 

THIRTEENTH: Notwithstanding any other provision of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the
Corporation (and in addition to any other vote that may be required by applicable law, this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the Corporation), the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% in voting power of the outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class,
shall be required to amend, alter or repeal any provision of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. 

FOURTEENTH: Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of
Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, another state court or a federal court located within the State of Delaware) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and subject to applicable jurisdictional
requirements, be the sole and exclusive forum for any current or former stockholder (including any current or former beneficial owner) to bring internal corporate claims (as defined below). For purposes of this
Article Fourteenth, internal corporate claims mean claims, including claims in the right of the Corporation: (a) that are based upon a violation of a duty by a current or former director, officer, employee or
stockholder in such capacity; or (b) as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction upon the Court of Chancery. 

  
 6 

 If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of this
Article Fourteenth is filed in a court other than the Court of Chancery (or, if the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, another state court or a federal court located within the State of Delaware) (a
“foreign action”) by any current or former stockholder (including any current or former beneficial owner), such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to: (a) the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (or such
other state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, as applicable) in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce this Article Fourteenth; and (b) having service of process made upon such
stockholder in any such action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the foreign action as agent for such stockholder. 
 If
any provision of this Article Fourteenth shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or entity or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the validity,
legality and enforceability of such provision in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Article Fourteenth (including, without limitation, each portion of any sentence of this
Article Fourteenth containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application of such provision to other persons or
entities or circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any securities of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the
provisions of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, including this Article Fourteenth.

 Exhibit 10.3 

August 25, 2018 
 Eclipse Resources Corporation 

2121 Old Gatesburg Road, Suite 110 
 State College, Pennsylvania

 Blue Ridge Mountain Resources, Inc. 
 122 West John
Carpenter Freeway, Suite 300 
 Irving, Texas 75039 
 Ladies
and Gentlemen: 
 Reference is hereby made to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated
August 25, 2018, among Eclipse Resources Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Blue Ridge Mountain Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Everest Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware
corporation (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things, (i) Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), and (ii) each share of the common stock, par value
$0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger shall be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of common stock, par value
$0.01, of Parent (the “Parent Common Stock”), all as set forth in the Merger Agreement. 
 The undersigned is entering into
this letter agreement (this “Lock-Up Agreement”) to induce Parent and the Company to enter into the Merger Agreement. 

The undersigned agrees that, without Parent’s prior written consent, but subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, the
undersigned will not, for a period commencing at the effective time of the Merger and ending at midnight on the sixtieth (60th) day thereafter(the
“Lock-Up Period”), directly or indirectly (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, grant any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, or otherwise
dispose of any shares of Parent Common Stock or any securities convertible into, exercisable for, or exchangeable for shares of Parent Common Stock, (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part,
any of the economic consequences of ownership of Parent Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Parent Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or
(3) publicly announce an intention to do any of the foregoing. 
  

 The restrictions in the foregoing paragraph shall not apply to: 

 

	 	a.	 if the undersigned is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or other entity, transfers to its
stockholders, members, partners or other equity owners as part of a distribution, or to any corporation, partnership or other entity that is its affiliate; or 

 

	 	b.	 pledges in a bona fide transaction that are in effect as of the date hereof to a lender to the undersigned, as
disclosed in writing to the Company and Parent prior to the date of this Lock-Up Agreement; 

provided, however, that in each transfer pursuant to clause (a), prior to such transfer, the transferee agrees in writing (in form and substance
acceptable to Parent) to be bound by the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement and such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value; and provided further, that in each transfer pursuant to clause
(a) and (b), no publicly available filing or public announcement is required or voluntarily made by any party in connection with such transfer. 

The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with Parent’s transfer agent and registrar relating
to the transfer of the undersigned’s shares of Parent Common Stock except in compliance with the restrictions described above. 
 The
undersigned also agrees that, during the period from the date of this Lock-Up Agreement to the effective time of the Merger, the undersigned will not make any Permitted Transfer of Subject Securities (each as
defined in the Voting Agreement dated as of the date hereof among the undersigned, Parent and the Company) unless, prior to such transfer, the transferee in such Permitted Transfer agrees in writing (in form and substance acceptable to Parent and
the Company) to be bound by the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement. 
 This Lock-Up Agreement shall not be amended or modified except by an instrument in writing executed by Parent, the undersigned and, prior to the effective time of the Merger, the Company. This Lock-Up Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof. 

The undersigned understands that the Company, Parent and other stockholders of the Company are relying on this
Lock-Up Agreement in proceeding with the Merger. This Lock-Up Agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives,
successors and assigns of the undersigned. 

  
 2 

 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this
Lock-Up Agreement shall be effective and binding on the undersigned only if, on or before the date of the Merger Agreement, Parent and the Company shall have received an executed
lock-up agreement from each of the holders or beneficial owners of Company Common Stock set forth on Exhibit A hereto, pursuant to which each of them has agreed to restrictions on transfer of shares of Parent
Common Stock on substantially the same terms as (or terms no more favorable to such entities than) those set forth in this Lock-Up Agreement, except as noted on Exhibit A.
