This SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT dated as of August 10, 2021 (this “Agreement”) is by and between Array Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and BCP Helios Aggregator L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Purchaser”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in Exhibit A.
At the Initial Closing, the Purchaser desires to purchase from the Company, and the Company desires to issue and sell to the Purchaser, 350,000 shares (the “Initial Closing Preferred Shares”) of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, with an initial stated value of $1,000 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), and 7,098,765 shares (the “Initial Closing Common Shares” and, together with the Initial Closing Preferred Shares, the “Initial Closing Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth.
At the Initial Closing II, the Purchaser desires to purchase from the Company, and the Company desires to issue and sell to the Purchaser, 776,235 shares of Common Stock (the “Initial Closing II Common Shares”), subject to the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth.
At the Additional Closings, the Purchaser desires to purchase from the Company, and the Company desires to issue and sell to the Purchaser, (i) the Delayed Draw Preferred Shares, (ii) the Delayed Draw Common Shares and (iii) the Top Up Shares on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth.
In consideration of the premises and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
Article I

PURCHASE AND SALE OF PURCHASED SHARES
Section I.1Purchase and Sale.  
(a)Initial Purchase and Sale.  On the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Initial Closing set forth in this Agreement, at the Initial Closing, the Purchaser shall purchase, and the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, (i) the Initial Closing Preferred Shares for a purchase price of $987.50 per share (the “Preferred Shares Purchase Price”) and (ii) the Initial Closing Common Shares with an original purchase price of $0.001 per share (subject to equitable adjustment for any stock dividend (including any dividend of securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock), stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction occurring on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Initial Closing), the “Common Shares Purchase Price”), for an aggregate purchase price of the Initial Closing Shares delivered 

at the Initial Closing of $345,632,098.765 (the “Initial Purchase Price”) (such transaction, the “Initial Purchase and Sale”).  The Initial Closing Preferred Shares and all other shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have the rights, powers, preferences and privileges set forth in the Certificate of Designations (the “Certificate of Designations”) attached as Exhibit B.
(b)Initial Purchase and Sale II.  On the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Initial Closing II set forth in this Agreement, at the Initial Closing II, the Purchaser shall purchase, and the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, the Initial Closing II Common Shares with an original purchase price of $0.001 per share (subject to equitable adjustment for any stock dividend (including any dividend of securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock), stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction occurring on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Initial Closing II), for an aggregate purchase price of the Initial Closing II Common Shares delivered at Closing of $776.235 (the “Initial Purchase Price II”) (such transaction, the “Initial Purchase and Sale II”).
(c)Additional Purchase and Sale.  After the Initial Closing, the Purchaser hereby conveys to the Company the option (such option, the “Purchaser Commitment”), exercisable on or prior to the Exercise Expiration Date, to sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser hereby agrees and commits to purchase from the Company, upon the Company’s exercise of such option via delivery by the Company of an Exercise Notice in accordance with Section 1.2(c), on the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to any Additional Closing set forth in this Agreement, in one or more Additional Closings, (i) the number of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Delayed Draw Preferred Shares”) equal to the number of shares set forth in such Exercise Notice which shall be (1) greater than or equal to 50,000 or, if less than 50,000, (2) the number of the Undrawn Portion, for the Preferred Shares Purchase Price; provided that the aggregate number of the Delayed Draw Preferred Shares to be purchased, issued and sold in connection with all Additional Closings shall not exceed 150,000 (such number of shares, as may be reduced by the Commitment Reduction Amount from time to time, the “Total Delayed Draw Preferred Commitment”); provided further that the Company may reduce, in whole or in part, upon a written notice (a “Commitment Reduction Notice”) to the Purchaser at any time or from time to time, the Total Delayed Draw Preferred Commitment (as of any time of determination, the number of shares specified in all such written notices delivered at or prior to such time, the “Commitment Reduction Amount”), (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock (the “Delayed Draw Common Shares” and, together with the Delayed Draw Preferred Shares, the “Delayed Draw Shares”) equal to the number of the Delayed Draw Preferred Shares set forth in such Exercise Notice divided by 150,000 multiplied by the Total Delayed Draw Common Commitment, for the Common Shares Purchase Price; provided that the aggregate number of the Delayed Draw Common Shares to be issued in connection with all Additional Closings shall not exceed 3,375,000 (subject to equitable adjustment for any stock dividend (including any dividend of securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock), stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction occurring on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Initial Closing or pursuant to Section 1.1(e) from time to time, the “Total Delayed Draw Common Commitment”) and (iii) the Top Up Shares, if any, 
2

pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 1.1(d) for the Common Shares Purchase Price (each such transaction, an “Additional Purchase and Sale”). 
(d)Top Up Shares.  In the event that the arithmetic average of the VWAP per share of Common Stock for the 30 Trading Days immediately prior to the Additional Closing Date for any Additional Purchase and Sale (the “Measurement Price”) fails to exceed the Threshold Price, the Purchaser shall purchase, and the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, the number of shares of Common Stock (the “Top Up Shares”) with an aggregate value (based on the Measurement Price) equal to (i) the value of the Delayed Draw Common Shares to be issued in connection with such Additional Closing (valued based on the Threshold Price) less (ii) the value of the Delayed Draw Common Shares to be issued in connection with such Additional Closing (valued based on the Measurement Price); provided that the aggregate number of Initial Closing Common Shares, Initial Closing II Common Shares, Delayed Draw Common Shares and Top Up Shares to be issued in connection with all Closings shall not exceed 13,975,000 (subject to equitable adjustment for any stock split, stock dividend or stock combination of the Common Stock occurring on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Initial Closing or pursuant to Section 1.1(e) from time to time, the “Total Transaction Common Commitment”).
(e)Adjustments.  Each of the Total Delayed Draw Common Commitment and the Total Transaction Common Commitment (each, a “Common Commitment”) shall be subject to adjustment (an “Adjustment”) from time to time as provided in this Section 1.1(e).
(i)Adjustment Upon Non-Cash Dividend, Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock.  If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Initial Closing, (a) pay a non-cash dividend or make any other distribution upon the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock to all or substantially all the holders of the Common Stock, or (b) subdivide (by any stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, each Common Commitment immediately prior to any such dividend, distribution or subdivision shall be proportionately increased so that such Common Commitment is for a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that a record holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that such Common Commitment was for immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such event.  If the Company at any time combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, each Common Commitment immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately decreased so that such Common Commitment is for a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that a record holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that such Common Commitment was for immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such event.  Any Adjustment under this Section 1.1(e)(i) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution or immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or consolidation.
3

(ii)Adjustment Upon Reorganization, Reclassification, Recapitalization, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets.  If the Company reorganizes its capital, reclassifies or recapitalizes the stock of the Company (other than (x) a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or (y) as a result of a non-cash dividend or other distribution upon the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock or subdivision or combination of the Common Stock to which Section 1.1(e)(i) shall apply), consolidates or merges with or into another Person (where the Company is not the surviving Person or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock), or sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all its property, assets or business to another Person and, pursuant to the terms of such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, units, shares or stock of the successor or acquiring Person, or any cash, units, shares or stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of the units, shares or stock of the successor or acquiring Person (“Other Property”), are to be received by or distributed to holders of the Common Stock, each Common Commitment shall be equitably adjusted so that such Common Commitment is for the number of units, shares or stock of the successor or acquiring Person or of the Company, if it is the surviving Person, and Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that a record holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that such Common Commitment was for immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive upon the happening of such event. If any such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets occurs, the successor or acquiring Person (if other than the Company) shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of this Agreement to be performed and observed by the Company and all the obligations and liabilities of the Company hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith) in order to provide for adjustments of each Common Commitment, which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 1.1(e), and all references in this Agreement to the “Company” shall be deemed to be a reference to such successor or acquiring Person and all references in this Agreement to “Common Stock” shall be deemed to be references to the applicable units, shares or stock of the successor or acquiring Person. In determining the kind and amount of stock, securities and/or property receivable upon consummation of such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets if the holders of Common Stock have the right to elect the kind or amount of consideration receivable upon consummation of such transaction, then the Purchaser, in connection with such transaction and at the same time holders of Common Stock are allowed to make such election, shall be given the right to make a similar election with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock that such Common Commitment is for.
(iii)Adjustment Upon Spin-Off.  If the Company makes any payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock or shares of capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company (a “Spin-Off”), each Common Commitment immediately prior to such Spin-Off 
4

shall be increased by multiplying such Common Commitment by the quotient of (x) the sum of (A) the average of the Market Prices of the capital stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one share of such stock or equity interest over the first ten consecutive Trading Day period after the effective date of the Spin-Off and (B) the average of the Market Prices of Common Stock over the first ten consecutive Trading Day period after the effective date of the Spin-Off (the “Spin-Off Common Stock Market Price”), divided by (y) the Spin-Off Common Stock Market Price.  Such Adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.1(e)(iii) shall occur on the tenth consecutive Trading Day after, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off.  No Adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 1.1(e)(iii) which shall have the effect of decreasing a Common Commitment.
(iv)Adjustment Upon Cash Dividend.  If the Company makes any cash dividend (excluding any cash dividend distributions in connection with the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up) or distribution during any quarterly fiscal period to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, each Common Commitment immediately prior to such cash dividend shall be adjusted by multiplying such Common Commitment by the quotient of (x) the Market Price per share of Common Stock on the last Trading Day immediately preceding the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way without the right to receive such distribution (the “Cash Dividend Common Stock Market Price”), divided by (y) the difference between (A) the Cash Dividend Common Stock Market Price, minus (B) the amount in cash per share that the Company distributes to holders of Common Stock.  Such Adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.1(e)(iv) shall become effective immediately following the date for such determination.  No Adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 1.1(e)(iv) which shall have the effect of decreasing a Common Commitment.
(v)The provisions of Section 1.1(e)(i)-(iv) shall similarly apply to successive transactions.
Section I.2Closing.  
(a)Initial Closing.  On the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Initial Closing set forth in this Agreement, the closing of the issuance, sale and purchase of the Initial Closing Shares (the “Initial Closing”) shall take place remotely via the exchange of final documents and signature pages, on the second (2nd) Business Day after all of the applicable conditions set forth in Article V have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Initial Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at such time), or such other time and place as the Company and the Purchaser may agree.  The date on which the Initial Closing is to occur is herein referred to as the “Initial Closing Date.”  At the Initial Closing, upon receipt by the Company of payment of the Initial Purchase Price by or on behalf of the Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company, the Company will deliver to the Purchaser evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser of the issuance of the Initial Closing Shares in the name of the Purchaser in book entry form on the books of (i) the Company with respect to shares of the Preferred Stock and (ii) the Company’s transfer agent with respect to shares of Common Stock.
5

(b)Initial Closing II.  On the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Initial Closing II set forth in this Agreement, the closing of the issuance, sale and purchase of the Initial Closing II Common Shares (the “Initial Closing II”) shall take place remotely via the exchange of final documents and signature pages, on the third (3rd) Business Day after all of the applicable conditions set forth in Article V have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Initial Closing II, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at such time), or such other time and place as the Company and the Purchaser may agree.  The date on which the Initial Closing II is to occur is herein referred to as the “Initial Closing II Date.”  At the Initial Closing II, upon receipt by the Company of payment of the Initial Purchase Price II by or on behalf of the Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company, the Company will deliver to the Purchaser evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser of the issuance of the Initial Closing II Common Shares in the name of the Purchaser in book entry form on the books of the Company’s transfer agent.
(c)Additional Closings.  On the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to any Additional Closing set forth in this Agreement, each closing of the issuance, sale and purchase of the Delayed Draw Shares and, if any, the Top Up Shares to be issued at such Additional Closing (each, an “Additional Closing” and, collectively, the “Additional Closings”) shall take place remotely via the exchange of final documents and signature pages, on the later of (i) the third (3rd) Business Day after all of the applicable conditions set forth in Article V have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at such Additional Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at such time) and (ii) the tenth (10th) Business Day after which the Company provides written notice to the Purchaser that the Company is exercising its option to sell Delayed Draw Shares pursuant to Section 1.1(c) and the number of Delayed Draw Shares the Company intends to sell in such Additional Closing (such written notice an “Exercise Notice”), or such other time and place as the Company and the Purchaser may agree.  An “Additional Closing Date” means each such date on which an Additional Closing is to occur. Exercise Notices in respect of an Additional Closing may only be delivered by the Company to the Purchaser on or prior to the Exercise Expiration Date and may not be revoked without the written consent of the Purchaser.  At an Additional Closing, upon receipt by the Company of payment of the full purchase price to be paid at the Additional Closing therefor by or on behalf of such Purchaser to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company, the Company will deliver to the Purchaser evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser of the issuance of the Delayed Draw Shares and, if any, the Top Up Shares, to be issued in connection with such Additional Closing in the name of the Purchaser in book entry form on the books of the Company’s transfer agent.
Section I.3Purchaser Commitment Premium.  In consideration for the Purchaser’s agreement to provide the Purchaser Commitment in accordance with this Agreement, the Company agrees to pay to the Purchaser a commitment premium (the “Purchaser Commitment Premium”) payable in cash at the applicable Commitment Premium Rate in accordance with this Section 1.3.  The Company shall pay to the Purchaser on the six (6) month anniversary of the Initial Closing and on the first Business Day of each successive three (3) 
6

month period (each such period, a “Commitment Premium Period”) the Purchaser Commitment Premium by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Purchaser, computed at the then-applicable Commitment Premium Rate on the product of (a) $1,000 and (b) the Undrawn Portion measured as of the last day of the immediately preceding Commitment Premium Period (or, if there is no preceding Commitment Premium Period, the day immediately prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the Initial Closing Date). The “Undrawn Portion” means, as of any time of determination, (x) the Total Delayed Draw Preferred Commitment (as reduced by any Commitment Reduction Amount) less (y) the aggregate number of the Delayed Draw Preferred Shares purchased, issued and sold in connection with any Additional Closings occurring prior to such time of determination. The “Commitment Premium Rate” shall be (i) 1.5% per annum for the period from and including the six (6) month anniversary of the Initial Closing Date up to but excluding the 12 month anniversary of the Initial Closing Date and (ii) 3.0% per annum from and including the 12 month anniversary of the Initial Closing Date up to but excluding the Exercise Expiration Date.  The Purchaser Commitment Premium shall be computed daily on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days based on the Undrawn Portion computed as of 11:59:59 p.m., New York City time, on the last day of the immediately preceding Commitment Premium Period (or, if there is no preceding Commitment Premium Period, the day immediately prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the Initial Closing Date).  The Purchaser Commitment Premium shall cease to accrue on the earlier of (1) the Exercise Expiration Date and (2) the date on which there is no Undrawn Portion.  The parties hereto agree that for U.S. federal income tax purposes the Purchaser Commitment Premium is intended to be treated as the payment by the Company to the Purchaser of the premium for a put option sold by the Purchaser to the Company hereunder that reduces the Purchaser’s basis with respect to the Delayed Draw Preferred Shares issued in any Exercise Notice and does not create original issue discount for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes, except as otherwise required by a final determination by the Internal Revenue Service or a change in applicable Law.
Article II

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other entity validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation (as applicable) and has all requisite corporate, limited liability company, partnership or other entity power and authority to own or lease its assets, rights and properties and to carry on its business as presently conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted.  The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is duly licensed or qualified to do business as a foreign corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other entity in each jurisdiction wherein the character of its assets, rights or property or the nature of the activities presently conducted by it, makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to so qualify has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

Section II.2Authorization; No Conflicts.

In evaluating the suitability of an investment in the Company, the Purchaser has not relied upon any representations or other information (other than the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Article II).
Section III.5No Prior Ownership.  As of the date hereof and as of immediately prior to the Initial Closing, the Purchaser does not have record or beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of any shares of the Company’s Common Stock.
Section III.6No Brokers or Finders.  No Person has or will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any right, interest or claim against or upon the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Purchaser for any commission, fee or other compensation as a finder or broker because of any act by the Purchaser and for which the Company will be liable.
Section III.7Financing.  The Purchaser has delivered to the Company true, correct, and complete copies of an executed commitment letter among Blackstone Capital Partners VIII L.P., Blackstone Energy Partners III L.P. and the Purchaser, dated as of the date hereof (together with all annexes, schedules and exhibits (in each case, if any) thereto, the “Equity Commitment Letter”, and the commitments thereunder, the “Equity Financing Commitment”) to provide, subject to the terms and conditions therein, cash in the aggregate amount set forth therein (the “Equity Financing”).  The Equity Financing is in amounts sufficient to enable the Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.  The Equity Commitment Letter is in full force and effect and constitute the enforceable, legal, valid and binding obligations of each of the Purchaser and the other parties thereto, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy laws, other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and general principles of equity affecting the availability of specific performance and other equity remedies.  As of the date of this Agreement, the Equity 
19

Commitment Letter, including the Equity Financing Commitment thereunder, have not been withdrawn, terminated, amended, restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified or waived and no such withdrawal, termination, amendment, restatement, replacement, supplement, modification or waiver is contemplated.  There are no side letters or other agreements, arrangements, contracts or understandings relating to the Equity Commitment Letter that could affect the availability of the Equity Financing, and the Purchaser does not know of any facts or circumstances that may be expected to result in any of the conditions set forth in any Equity Commitment Letter not being satisfied, or the Equity Financing not being available to the Purchaser, at the Closings.  No event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would, or would reasonably be expected to, constitute a default or breach on the part of the Purchaser, or by any other party thereto, under any term or condition of the Equity Commitment Letter, and the Purchaser has no reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy on a timely basis any term or condition of closing to be satisfied by it contained in the Equity Commitment Letter.  Except as expressly set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter, there are no conditions precedent related to the funding of the full amount of the Equity Financing Commitment.  As of the date of this Agreement, the Purchaser is not aware of any fact, circumstance or occurrence that makes any representation or warranty of the Purchaser included in this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter inaccurate.  Assuming (i) the satisfaction of the conditions in Article V hereof and (ii) the Equity Financing is funded in accordance with its conditions, upon funding of the Equity Financing Commitment, the Purchaser will have at the Closings, immediately available cash funds sufficient to fund all of the amounts required to be provided by the Purchaser for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, at each Closing, including the payment of the Purchase Price and any other amounts required to be paid in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, at each Closing, including all related fees and expenses, and such funds are sufficient for the satisfaction of all of the Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement, as applicable.
Section III.8No Additional Representations.  The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that, except for the representations and warranties contained in Article II (as modified by the Disclosure Letter) and in any certificate delivered by the Company in connection with this Agreement, neither the Company nor any other Person, makes any express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, operations, assets, liabilities, employees, employee benefit plans, conditions or prospects, and the Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby disclaims reliance upon any such other representations or warranties.  In particular, without limiting the foregoing disclaimer, the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that neither the Company nor any other Person, makes or has made any representation or warranty with respect to, and the Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby disclaims reliance upon (a) any financial projection, forecast, estimate, budget or prospect information relating to the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective business, or (b) without limiting the representations and warranties made by the Company in Article II, any information presented to the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or representatives in the course of their due diligence investigation of the Company, the negotiation of this Agreement or in the course of the transactions contemplated hereby, or the accuracy or completeness thereof.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, without limiting the representations and warranties 
20

contained in Article II, other than in the case of fraud, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person shall have any liability to any Purchaser or its Affiliates or representatives on any basis (including in contract or tort, under federal or state securities laws or otherwise) based upon any other representation or warranty, either express or implied, included in any information or statements (or any omissions therefrom) provided or made available by the Company or its Subsidiaries or representatives to the Purchaser or its Affiliates or representatives in the course of their due diligence investigation of the Company, the negotiation of this Agreement or in the course of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Article IV

COVENANTS OF THE PARTIES
Section IV.1Board of Directors.
(a)As of the Initial Closing, the Purchaser Representative shall have the right to designate one director to the Board of Directors (the “Series A Director”), subject to Section 4.1(b).  Effective as of the Initial Closing, the Board of Directors shall appoint Bilal Khan as the initial Series A Director and take all actions necessary or appropriate to appoint the Series A Director (i) as a director of the Board of Directors, to serve as a Class I director, and (ii) as a non-voting observer of each of the Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees, in each case, effective as of the Closing Date. 
(b)Thereafter, the Purchaser Representative shall have the right to designate, for so long as the Purchaser Parties hold Purchased Preferred Shares with an aggregate Liquidation Preference (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) equal to at least $100,000,000.00 (the “Threshold Amount”), the Series A Director to the Board of Directors.  For so long as the Purchaser Parties beneficially own the Threshold Amount that entitles the Purchaser Representative to nominate a Purchaser Nominee as provided above, the Company shall, at each annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which the Purchaser Nominee’s term as a director expires, use reasonable best efforts to (i) nominate the Purchaser Nominee for election to the Board of Directors, (ii) recommend that the holders of the Company’s voting stock vote in favor of such Purchaser Nominee and (iii) cause the Purchaser Nominee to be elected to the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the Purchaser Nominee shall comply with the corporate governance principles and practices of the Company as in effect from time to time and applicable to directors generally, including but not limited to the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Company’s Code of Business Conduct & Ethics, the Company’s Insider Trading Policy (the “Governance Principles”).  If, following election to the Board of Directors, the Purchaser Nominee resigns, is removed, or is otherwise unable to serve for any reason (including as a result of death or disability) and the Purchaser Representative then has the right to designate a Purchaser Nominee pursuant to this Section 4.1, then, subject to compliance with the Governance Principles, the Purchaser Representative shall be entitled to designate a replacement Purchaser Nominee, and the Board of Directors shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such replacement Purchaser Nominee to fill such vacancy and to be appointed to the Board of Directors.  If a Purchaser Nominee is not re-elected and the 
21

Purchaser Representative still has the right to designate the Purchaser Nominee, then, subject to compliance with the Governance Principles, the Purchaser Representative shall be entitled to designate a replacement Purchaser Nominee, and the Board of Directors shall use its reasonable best efforts to elect such replacement Purchaser Nominee to the Board of Directors.  In the event that the Purchaser ceases to hold the Threshold Amount that entitles it to nominate the Purchaser Nominee as provided above, if requested by the Board of Directors, the Purchaser shall cause the Purchaser Nominee to immediately resign as director and the Purchaser shall no longer have any rights under this Section 4.1 with respect to the Series A Director. 
(c)Each Purchaser Nominee must be reasonably acceptable to the Board of Directors and meet in all material respects all of the requirements of a director of the Company described in this Section 4.1, provided, however, that Managing Directors (and more senior employees) or Senior Advisors of the Sponsor are deemed to be reasonably acceptable for purposes of this Section 4.1(c).
(d)The Series A Director shall be entitled to (i) reimbursement of expenses and indemnification in the same manner and to the same extent as the other members of the Board of Directors, in accordance with the Company’s organizational documents and applicable Delaware law and including on the basis of the Company’s director indemnification agreement, and (ii) unless waived by the Series A Director, compensation in the same manner and to the same extent as other non-executive members of the Board of Directors, which shall be payable solely in cash to the Series A Director or such Person as designated by the Series A Director. Any director minimum ownership requirements shall be deemed satisfied in respect of the Series A Director or Purchaser Nominee, as applicable, by the Purchased Shares held by the Purchaser Parties or one or more of their respective Affiliates.  The Company acknowledges and agrees that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to the Series A Director are primary and any obligation of the Purchaser Parties or their Affiliates to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by the Series A Director are secondary).
(e)For so long as the Purchaser Parties hold the Threshold Amount, the Purchaser Representative shall have the right to appoint three (3) non-voting observers to the Board of Directors (collectively, “Observers”), which Observers shall be entitled to attend all meetings of the Board of Directors (excluding, except as provided in Section 4.1(a), any meetings of the committees thereof), and to receive any notices, minutes, consents and other materials that were provided to the Directors at the same time and the same manner, subject to such Observers entering into a customary confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably approved by the Board of Directors; provided, that such Observers may be excluded from any portion of any such meetings and/or distributions of materials if the Company determines in good faith that such exclusion or withholding of information is reasonably necessary to (i) preserve any attorney-client privilege, (ii) protect any confidential or proprietary information of the Company or any confidential or proprietary information of a third party that the Company is reasonably required or requested to hold in confidence or (iii) prevent an actual or potential conflict of interest.
22

Section IV.2Restrictions on Transfer.
(a)For a period of one (1) year after the Initial Closing, the Purchaser shall not Transfer any of the Purchased Shares to any Person without the consent of the Company; provided, however, that, without the consent of the Company, a Purchaser may Transfer Purchased Shares to a Permitted Transferee of the Purchaser that agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement pursuant to a written agreement (and upon such Transfer the Permitted Transferee shall become a “Purchaser” for purposes of this Agreement (including this Section 4.2)); pursuant to a tender or exchange offer, merger, consolidation, division, acquisition, reorganization or recapitalization involving the Company; or following the date the Company commences a voluntary case under Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other similar insolvency laws.
(b)At no time shall a Purchaser knowingly Transfer any Purchased Shares to (i) any Company Competitor, or (ii) any Person who is known to have engaged in activist campaigns in the three years prior to the date of any such proposed Transfer by stating an intention to or actually attempting to (pursuant to proxy solicitation, tender or exchange offer or other means) obtain a seat on the board of directors of a company or effecting a significant change within such company, in each case, that was publicly opposed by the board of directors of such company; provided, that the restrictions set forth in this Section 4.2(b) shall not apply to Transfers into the public market pursuant to a bona fide, broadly distributed public offering, in each case made pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement or through a bona fide sale to the public without registration effectuated pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or in connection with a merger, tender offer or exchange offer or other business combination, acquisition of assets or similar transaction or any change of control transaction involving the Company or any Subsidiary thereof.
(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the restrictions set forth in this Section 4.2 shall not apply to any Transfer of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock in connection with any Permitted Loan; provided, however, the Foreclosure Limitations shall be applicable in connection with any foreclosure or exercise of remedies pursuant to a Permitted Loan. “Permitted Loan” means any total return swap or bona fide loan or other financing arrangement, in each case entered into with a nationally recognized financial institution, including a pledge to such a financial institution to secure a bona fide debt financing and any foreclosure by such financial institution or transfer to such financial institution in lieu of foreclosure and subsequent sale of the securities, as long as such financial institution agrees with the relevant Purchaser Party and the Company that following such foreclosure or in connection with such Transfer it shall not knowingly directly or indirectly Transfer (other than pursuant to Transfers (x) into the public market pursuant to a bona fide, broadly distributed public offering, in each case made pursuant to a registration statement; (y) through a bona fide sale into the public market without registration effectuated pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or (z) in connection with a merger, tender offer or exchange offer or other business combination, acquisition of assets or similar transaction or any change of control transaction involving the Company or any Subsidiary thereof) such foreclosed or Transferred, as the case may be, Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock to a Company Competitor without 
23

the Company’s consent (such agreement by the relevant financial institution, the “Foreclosure Limitations”).  Any Permitted Loan entered into by a Purchaser Party or its Affiliates shall be with one or more financial institutions reasonably acceptable to the Company and, except as specified above, nothing contained in this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement shall prohibit or otherwise restrict the ability of any lender (or its securities’ affiliate) or collateral agent to foreclose upon, or accept a Transfer in lieu of foreclosure, and sell, dispose of or otherwise Transfer the Series A Preferred Stock and/or shares of Common Stock mortgaged, hypothecated and/or pledged to secure the obligations of the borrower following an event of default under a Permitted Loan.  Subject to the preceding provisions of this clause (c), in the event that any lender or other creditor under a Permitted Loan transaction (including any agent or trustee on their behalf) or any Affiliate of the foregoing exercises any rights or remedies in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock or the shares of Common Stock or any other collateral for any Permitted Loan, no lender, creditor, agent or trustee on their behalf or affiliate of any of the foregoing (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, a Purchaser Party or its Affiliates) shall be entitled to any rights or have any obligations or be subject to any transfer restrictions or limitations hereunder except and to the extent for those expressly provided for in the Registration Rights Agreement.  
(d)In any event, Restricted Securities shall not be Transferred except upon the conditions specified in this Section 4.2, which conditions are intended to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act.  Any attempted Transfer in violation of this Section 4.2 shall be void ab initio.
(e)At the Closing, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Company a duly executed, valid, accurate and properly completed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 certifying that the Purchaser is a U.S. person, and that no deduction or withholding is required on payments or accruals to the Purchaser (or its nominee) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Purchaser agrees that if the information provided on any IRS Form W-9 previously delivered by the Purchaser changes, or if a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the information on such IRS Form W-9 obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any respect, the Purchaser shall promptly inform the Company and deliver promptly an updated, duly executed, valid, accurate and properly completed IRS Form W-9. 
(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Purchased Preferred Shares may only be sold, exchanged or otherwise transferred to a Person that is (i) a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, (ii) a “foreign government” eligible for and claiming the benefits of an exemption from taxation under Section 892 of the Code (including a 0% rate of withholding with respect to U.S.-source dividends); provided that such foreign government delivers to the Company prior to such transfer a duly executed, valid, accurate and properly completed IRS Form W-8EXP (including any required attachments) to establish such exemption from taxation under Section 892 of the Code and agrees that if the information provided on any such IRS Form W-8EXP previously delivered changes, or if a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the information on such IRS Form W-8EXP obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any respect, such foreign government shall promptly inform the Company and deliver promptly an updated, duly executed, valid, accurate 
24

and properly completed IRS Form W-8EXP), or (iii) a “withholding foreign partnership” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-5(c)(2)) that has assumed primary responsibility for withholding under chapters 3 and 4 of the Code, information reporting under chapter 61 of the Code, backup withholding under Section 3406 of the Code, and/or withholding under other provisions of the Code; provided that such Person delivers to the Company prior to such transfer a duly executed, valid, accurate and properly completed IRS Form W-8IMY (or successor form) certifying that such holder is a “withholding foreign partnership” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-5(c)(2)) that is compliant with the terms of its withholding foreign partnership agreement with the IRS (including any required attachments) and agrees that if the information provided on any such IRS Form W-8IMY previously delivered changes, or if a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the information on such IRS Form W-8IMY obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any respect, such Person shall promptly inform the Company and deliver promptly an updated, duly executed, valid, accurate and properly completed IRS Form W-8IMY (including any required attachments).
Section IV.3Restrictive Legends.
(a)Each certificate or book entry representing the Purchased Shares (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of Section 4.2(b) or Section 4.3(d)) shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws):
“THE OFFER AND SALE OF THIS SECURITY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (A) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT THAT IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT; OR (B) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.”

Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed Transfer in sufficient detail, and shall be accompanied by either (i) an opinion of legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the proposed Transfer of the Restricted Securities may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, or (ii) any other evidence reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Company, whereupon such Purchaser shall be entitled to Transfer such Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by such Purchaser to the Company.

Each certificate or book entry evidencing the Restricted Securities transferred shall bear the appropriate restrictive legend set forth in this Section 4.3, except that such certificate or book entry shall not bear the first such restrictive legend if such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act.  Upon the request of a Purchaser of a certificate or book entry bearing the first such restrictive legend and, if necessary, the appropriate evidence as required by clause (i) or (ii) above, the Company shall promptly remove the first such restrictive legend from such certificate or book entry and from the certificate or book entry to be issued to the applicable transferee if such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act and a Purchaser promptly Transfers the Purchased Shares.  If a Purchaser holds a certificate or book entry bearing the second restrictive legend, the Company shall promptly remove such restrictive legend from such certificate or book entry when the provisions of Section 4.2 are no longer applicable to the applicable Purchased Shares.
Section IV.4Standstill.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Certificate of Designations, until the date on which the Series A Director no longer serves on the Board of Directors, without the prior written consent or invitation of the Board of Directors, the Purchaser will not at any time, nor will it cause any of its Affiliates to: (a) effect or seek, offer or publicly propose to effect, or publicly announce any intention to effect or cause or participate in or in any way assist, facilitate or encourage any other person to effect or seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect or participate in, (i) any acquisition of any equity securities (or beneficial ownership thereof) or rights or options to acquire any equity securities

The Purchaser shall be responsible for any non-compliance with this Section 4.5 by its Representatives or any such prospective purchaser.  
(b)In the event that the Purchaser or any of its Representatives is required or requested by applicable law (including oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other process) to disclose any of the Confidential Information, the Purchaser will provide the Company with prompt notice (unless such notification is prohibited by applicable law and other than in connection with a routine audit or examination by, or a blanket document request from, a regulatory or governmental entity that does not reference the Company or this Agreement) so that the Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.5.  In the event that such a protective order or other remedy is not obtained, that no such notice is required to be provided to the Company or that the Company waives compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.5, the Purchaser may disclose such Confidential Information without liability hereunder.

(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the rights of the Purchaser Parties under this Section 4.6 may be assigned by the Purchaser Parties to any transferee of Purchased Preferred Shares of at least the Threshold Amount and upon such assignment, such transferee shall also be considered a Purchaser Party for

The Company and the Board of Directors shall (i) take all actions necessary so that no Antitakeover Provision becomes applicable to this Agreement or the Purchaser’s acquisition, or the Company’s issuance, of the Purchased Shares in accordance with this Agreement and the Certificate of Designations, and (ii) if any such Antitakeover Provision becomes applicable thereto to any extent or in any regard, to take all actions necessary so that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms required by, or provided for, in this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Certificate of Designations, and otherwise to take all such other actions as are reasonably necessary to eliminate or minimize to the greatest extent possible the effects of any such Antitakeover Provision thereupon or upon the transactions contemplated thereby.
(b)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall require or obligate the Sponsor and its respective Affiliates and any investment funds or investment vehicles affiliated with, or managed or advised by, the Sponsor or any portfolio company (as such term is commonly understood in the private equity industry) or investment of the Sponsor or of any such investment fund or investment vehicle to propose, negotiation, commit to, and/or effect, by consent decree, holder separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, transfer, license, disposition, or hold separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise) of such assets, properties, or businesses of the Sponsor or any of its respective Affiliates, Subsidiaries, investment funds, or portfolio companies, in order to avoid the entry of any decree, judgment, injunction (permanent or preliminary), or any other order that would make the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unlawful or would otherwise materially delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section IV.8Tax Matters.
(a)USRPHC Status. At the Purchaser’s written request from time to time while the Purchaser owns any shares of Series A Preferred Stock or owns more than five percent (5%) of the Company’s Common Stock, the Company shall (i) deliver as promptly as reasonably practicable any existing analysis the Company has in its possession as to whether it is a United States real property holding corporation within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Code (a “USRPHC”) and (ii) reasonably cooperate with any reasonable request of Purchaser in connection with the foregoing, including the provision of any written statement regarding the Company’s status as a USRPHC to the extent the Company is reasonably able to provide such statement. The Purchaser Parties shall pay or cause to be paid the Company’s reasonable out of pocket expenses in connection with the provision of information under this Section 4.8(a).
(b)Tax Treatment.  For all U.S. federal, state and local tax purposes, the Company and the Purchaser, unless otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or by a change in applicable Law, (i) subject to the final 
30

sentence of this Section 4.8(b), shall not treat or report any dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock (including any dividends that are accrued and added to the Liquidation Preference, as defined in the Certificate of Designations) as income or gain to the Purchaser in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock, unless and until any such amounts are declared and paid in cash (or as a Non-Cash Dividend) to the Purchaser in accordance with the Certificate of Designations, and (ii) shall treat the sum of the Common Stock Allocation and the Discount as a U.S. dollar-denominated amount giving rise to a U.S. dollar-denominated reduction in the “issue price” paid by the Purchaser for the Series A Preferred Stock (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that the Purchaser shall be required to accrue and include in income for U.S. federal, state and local tax purposes as a dividend over the term of the Series A Preferred Stock on a constant-yield-to-maturity basis. The Company and the Purchaser shall file all income Tax Returns in a manner consistent with Section 1.3 and this Section 4.8 except as otherwise required by a change in Law (including any interpretation by a Governmental Entity) or by a final “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company (or its Affiliates) be liable to the Purchaser or to any other party for any damages (including Taxes) arising from any of the foregoing “changes in applicable Law” or “determinations.”
(c)Investment Unit Allocation.  The Purchaser and the Company shall treat and report the Series A Preferred Stock and the Common Stock issued to the Purchaser hereunder as having been issued as part of an “investment unit” within the meaning of Code Section 1273(c)(2) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.1273-2(h), with (x) a portion of the total amount paid for such Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock equal to the aggregate fair market value of such Common Stock (which shall be determined based on the applicable trading price of the Company’s Common Stock) being allocated to such Common Stock (the “Common Stock Allocation”) and (y) the remainder being allocated to such Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Allocation”). Within thirty (30) days after the Initial Closing II Date and each subsequent Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to the Purchaser a draft valuation setting forth in reasonable detail the Common Stock Allocation and the Series A Preferred Allocation with respect to the Purchased Shares issued on such Closing Date (in the case of the Initial Closing II Date, with respect to the Purchased Shares issues on the Initial Closing Date and the Initial Closing II Date) (such draft valuation, the “Draft Purchased Shares Valuation”) for the Purchaser’s review. If the Purchaser does not agree with the Draft Purchased Shares Valuation, then within ten (10) days of receipt of the Draft Purchased Shares Valuation the Purchaser shall determine and deliver to the Company a proposed valuation of the Common Stock Allocation and the Series A Preferred Allocation (the “Purchaser’s Proposed Valuation”). If the Purchaser and the Company are not able to come to an agreement as to the final valuation of the Common Stock Allocation and the Series A Preferred Allocation within ten (10) days thereafter, the Purchaser and the Company shall agree in good faith on an independent nationally recognized valuation or financial advisory firm (the “Valuation Firm”) to determine the final valuation of the Common Stock Allocation and the Series A Preferred Allocation, which valuation must be within the range of the Purchaser’s Proposed Valuation and the Draft Purchased Shares Valuation. All fees and expenses of the Valuation Firm relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Valuation Firm hereunder shall be borne in inverse proportion to the relative extent to which the Company, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, 
31

prevail on the disagreements resolved by the Valuation Firm, which proportionate allocation shall be determined by the Valuation Firm. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, all other costs and expenses incurred by the parties hereto in connection with resolving any dispute hereunder before the Valuation Firm shall be borne by the party incurring such cost and expense. Each valuation of the Common Stock Allocation and the Series A Preferred Allocation shall, once final (as finalized, a “Purchased Shares Valuation”), be binding upon the Purchaser and the Company, and the Purchaser and the Company agree to file all U.S. federal, state and local income Tax Returns consistent with each Purchased Shares Valuation.
(d)The Company (and any other applicable withholding agent hereunder) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under applicable tax Law. To the extent that such withheld amounts are paid over to or deposited with the proper Governmental Entity, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
Section IV.9Nasdaq Listing.  To the extent required by the Nasdaq Global Market and the Company has not done so prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall apply to cause the Purchased Common Shares to be approved for listing prior to the Initial Closing or Additional Closing, as applicable, on the Nasdaq Global Market, subject to official notice of issuance.  The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the listing of all of the Purchased Common Shares upon each national securities exchange and automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of the Purchased Common Shares.  The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying the obligations under this Section 4.9.
Section IV.10State Securities Laws.  The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (a) obtain all necessary permits and qualifications, if any, or secure an exemption therefrom, required by any state or country prior to the offer and sale of Common Stock and/or Series A Preferred Stock and (b) cause such authorization, approval, permit or qualification to be effective as of the applicable Closing.
Section IV.11Section 16b-3 Matters.  If the Company (a) becomes a party to a consolidation, merger or other similar transaction or otherwise or if there is any event or circumstance that may result in the Purchaser and each Permitted Transferee of the Purchaser to whom any of the Purchased Shares are transferred pursuant to Section 4.2 (the “Purchaser Parties”), their respective Affiliates and/or the Series A Director being deemed to have made a disposition or acquisition of the Purchased Shares for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and (b) in advance of the delivery of any Initial Closing II Common Shares and in advance of any specific Election Notice with respect to any Additional Purchase and Sale, and if the Series A Director is serving on the Board at such time or has served on the Board during the preceding six (6) months (i) the Board or a committee thereof composed solely of two or more “non-employee directors” as defined in Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act will pre-approve such 
32

acquisition or disposition of the Purchased Shares for the express purpose of exempting the Purchaser Parties’, their respective Affiliates’ and the Series A Director’s interests (for the Purchaser Parties and/or their respective Affiliates, to the extent such persons may be deemed to be “directors by deputization”) in such transaction from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16b-3 thereunder and (ii) if the transaction involves (A) a merger or consolidation to which the Company is a party and the Common Stock is, in whole or in part, converted into or exchanged for equity securities of a different issuer, (B) a potential acquisition or deemed acquisition, or disposition or deemed disposition, by the Purchaser Parties, their respective Affiliates, and/or the Series A Director of equity securities of such other issuer or derivatives thereof and (C) an Affiliate or other designee of the Purchaser Parties or their respective Affiliates will serve on the board of directors (or its equivalent) of such other issuer pursuant to the terms of an agreement to which the Company is a party (or if the Purchaser Parties notify the Company of such service a reasonable time in advance of the closing of such transactions), then if the Company requires that the other issuer pre-approve any acquisition of equity securities or derivatives thereof for the express purpose of exempting the interests of any director or officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries in such transactions from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16b-3 thereunder, the Company shall require that such other issuer pre-approve any such acquisitions of equity securities or derivatives thereof for the express purpose of exempting the interests of the Purchaser Parties’, their respective Affiliates’ and the Series A Director (for the Purchaser Parties and/or their respective Affiliates, to the extent such persons may be deemed to be “directors by deputization” of such other issuer) in such transactions from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16b-3 thereunder.
Section IV.12Negative Covenants.  Except as set forth on Section 4.12 of the Disclosure Letter, from the date of this Agreement through the Initial Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall use their reasonable best efforts to operate their businesses in the ordinary course, and, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser Parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Company shall not and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to:
(a)take any action that would require the consent of the Holders (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) pursuant to Section 9(a) of the Certificate of Designations; 
(b)redeem, purchase, repurchase or otherwise acquire any of its outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity or voting interests, or any rights, warrants or options to acquire any shares of its capital stock or other equity or voting interests, except in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice pursuant to the terms of the Stock Plans or Benefit Plans;
(c)establish a record date for, declare, set aside for payment or pay any dividend on, or make any other distribution in respect of, any shares of its capital stock or other equity or voting interests;

(f)enter into any new, or amend, terminate or renew in any material respect, any material Benefit Plan, other than in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice;
(g)enter into any new, or amend, terminate or renew in any material respect, any material Contract between the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any other Person (other than the Company’s Subsidiaries) including officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, outside the ordinary course of business;
(h)make any material change in the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ financial accounting principles, except as required by changes in GAAP (or any interpretation thereof) or in applicable Law; 
(i)cause the Company (or the surviving or resulting entity following any conversion, merger, consolidation, or similar reorganization) to be treated as other than a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes; or
(j)agree, authorize or commit to do any of the foregoing. 
Section IV.13Sponsor. 
(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the terms or provisions of this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 4.2 and Section 4.4) shall in any way limit the activities of Blackstone Inc. (the “Sponsor”) or any of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Sponsor Group”), other than the Purchaser Parties, in their businesses distinct from the private equity business of Sponsor (the “Excluded Sponsor Parties”), so long as (i) no such Excluded Sponsor Party or any of its Representatives is acting on behalf of or at the direction of any Purchaser Party with respect to any matter that otherwise would violate any term or provision of this Agreement and (ii) no Confidential Information is made directly available to any Excluded Sponsor Party or any of its Representatives who are not involved in the corporate private equity business of Sponsor by or on behalf of any Purchaser Party or any of their Representatives, except with respect to any such Representative who is (x) compliance personnel for compliance purposes or for investment (or similar) committee purposes and (y) non-compliance personnel of Sponsor who are directors or officers of, or function in a similar oversight role at, such Affiliate as long as Confidential Information is not otherwise disclosed to such Affiliate.  
(b)The Purchaser Parties and the Company hereby agree, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other agreement or at law or in equity, that, to 
34

the maximum extent permitted by law, when the Purchaser Parties take any action under this Agreement to give or withhold their consent, the Purchaser Parties shall have no duty (fiduciary or other) to consider the interests of the Company or the other stockholders of the Company and may act exclusively in their own interest; provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no way affect the obligations of the parties hereto to comply with the provisions of this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing sentence shall not limit or otherwise affect the fiduciary duties of the Series A Director.
(c)The Purchaser Parties and the Company hereby agree and acknowledge that, subject to applicable law and the other provisions of this Agreement, the Series A Director may share Confidential Information with the Purchaser Parties.
Section IV.14Use of Proceeds.  The Company shall only use the proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Initial Closing Shares (i) to pay down (x) 100% of amounts outstanding under the Company’s existing Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (y) at least $100,000,000.00 of the amount outstanding under the Company’s existing Term Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement), in each case, as of the Initial Closing Date and (ii) with respect to any remaining proceeds after giving effect to clause (i), for other general corporate purposes.
Section IV.15Corporate Actions.  The Company shall not adopt any stockholder rights agreement, “poison pill” or similar anti-takeover agreement or plan that prohibits the Purchaser Parties from taking any of the actions permitted by this Agreement under Section 4.2 or the Certificate of Designations.
Section IV.16Corporate Opportunities.  In recognition and anticipation that (1) certain directors, principals, officers, employees and/or other representatives of the Purchaser Parties and their Affiliates may serve as directors, officers or agents of the Company, (2) the Purchaser Parties and their Affiliates may now engage and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Company, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Company, directly or indirectly, may engage or proposes to engage, and (3) members of the Board who are not employees of the Company or its subsidiaries (the “Non-Employee Directors”) and their respective Affiliates may now engage and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Company, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Company, directly or indirectly, may engage or proposes to engage, the provisions of this Section 4.16 are set forth to regulate and define the conduct of certain affairs of the Company with respect to certain classes or categories of business opportunities as they may involve the Purchaser Parties, the Non-Employee Directors or their respective Affiliates, as applicable, and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities of the Company and its directors, officers and stockholders in connection therewith.  None of (1) the Purchaser Parties or any of their Affiliates, or (2) any Non-Employee Director or his or her Affiliates (the Persons identified in (1) and (2) above being referred to, collectively, as “Identified Persons” and, individually, as an “Identified Person”) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have any duty to refrain from, 
35

directly or indirectly, (A) engaging in the same or similar business activities or lines of business in which the Company or any of its Affiliates now engages or proposes to engage or (B) otherwise competing with the Company or any of its Affiliates, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no Identified Person shall be liable to the Company or its stockholders or to any Affiliate of the Company for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person engages in any such activities.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunity that may be a corporate opportunity for an Identified Person and the Company or any of its Affiliates.  Subject to the following sentence, in the event that any Identified Person acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or other business opportunity that may be a corporate opportunity for itself, herself or himself and the Company or any of its Affiliates, such Identified Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have no duty to communicate or offer such transaction or other business opportunity to the Company or any of its Affiliates and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall not be liable to the Company or its stockholders or to any Affiliate of the Company for breach of any fiduciary duty as a stockholder, director or officer of the Company solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, herself or himself, or offers or directs such corporate opportunity to another Person or does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company does not renounce its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any Non-Employee Director (including any Non-Employee Director who serves as an officer of this Company) if such opportunity is offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company, and this section shall not apply to any such corporate opportunity.  In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Agreement or anything to the contrary in the Certificate of Designations, to the fullest extent permitted by law, a potential corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to be a corporate opportunity for the Company if it is a business opportunity that (1) the Company is neither financially or legally able, nor contractually permitted to undertake, (2) from its nature, is not in the line of the Company’s business or is of no practical advantage to the Company, or (3) is one in which the Company has no interest or reasonable expectancy.  
Section IV.17Financing Cooperation.  If requested by the Purchaser Parties, the Company will provide the following cooperation in connection with the Purchaser Parties obtaining any Permitted Loan following the Closing: (i) using good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to enter into an issuer agreement (an “Issuer Agreement”) with each lender in customary form in connection with such transactions (which agreement may include, without limitation, agreements and obligations of the Company relating to procedures and specified time periods for effecting Transfers upon foreclosure, agreements to not intentionally hinder or delay exercises of remedies on foreclosure, acknowledgments regarding corporate policy, if applicable, certain acknowledgments regarding securities law status of the pledge arrangements and a specified list of Company Competitors) and subject to the consent of the Company (which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), with such changes thereto as are requested by such lender and customary for similar financings, (ii) using commercially reasonable efforts to (A) remove any restrictive legends on certificates representing pledged Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock, obtaining CUSIP numbers for shares of Series A Preferred Stock (including if 
36

requested by Purchaser obtaining a different CUSIP number for shares of Series A Preferred Stock that are issued at a particular Closing from the CUSIP number for shares of Series A Preferred Stock that are issued at a different Closing) and depositing such pledged Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock in book entry form on the books of The Depository Trust Company, when eligible to do so (for the avoidance of doubt, shares of Common Stock will not be considered so eligible prior to the date the lender has a valid six-month “holding period” (as defined in Rule 144) in such shares of Common Stock) or (B) without limiting the generality of clause (A), if such Series A Preferred Stock is eligible for resale under Rule 144A, depositing such pledged Series A Preferred Stock in book entry form on the books of The Depository Trust Company or other depository with customary Rule 144A restrictive legends in lieu of the legends specified in Section 4.3 above, (iii) if so requested by such lender or counterparty, as applicable, (x) re-issuing the pledged Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock in certificated form in the name of a Purchaser Party or its Affiliates and/or (y) re-registering the pledged Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock in certificated form or in book-entry form, as so requested, in the name of the relevant lender, counterparty, custodian or similar party to a Permitted Loan, with respect to Permitted Loans solely as securities intermediary and only to the extent a Purchaser Party or its Affiliates continues to beneficially own such pledged Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock, (iv) entering into customary triparty agreements with each lender and the Purchaser Parties relating to the delivery of the Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock to the relevant lender for crediting to the relevant collateral accounts upon funding of the loan and payment of the purchase price including a right for such lender as a third party beneficiary of the Company’s obligations hereunder to issue the Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock upon payment of the purchase price therefor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (v) such other cooperation and assistance as the Purchaser Parties may reasonably request (which cooperation and assistance, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any requirements that the Company deliver information, compliance certificates or any other materials typically provided by borrowers to lenders) that will not unreasonably disrupt the operation of the Company’s business, in the cases of clauses (ii) and (iii), subject to receipt of customary legal opinions and certificates and the satisfaction of any relevant requirements of the Company’s transfer agent.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, the Company’s obligation to deliver an Issuer Agreement is conditioned on (i) the relevant Purchaser Party certifying to the Company in writing that (A) the loan agreement with respect to which the Issuer Agreement is being delivered constitutes a Permitted Loan being entered into in accordance with this Agreement, such Purchaser Party has pledged Common Stock or the Series A Preferred Stock as collateral to the lenders under such Permitted Loan and that the execution of such Permitted Loan and the terms thereof do not violate the terms of this Agreement, (B) to the extent applicable, whether the registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement are being assigned to the lenders under that Permitted Loan and (C) such Purchaser Party acknowledges and agrees that the Company will be relying on such certificate when entering into the Issuer Agreement and any inaccuracy in such certificate will be deemed a breach of this Agreement and (ii) the Issuer Agreement containing customary representations, warranties and covenants for the benefit of the Company from the relevant Purchaser Party and the lender reasonably satisfactory to the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, an undertaking of the lender to sell any pledged Series A Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock in compliance with the Foreclosure Limitations).  The Purchaser Parties acknowledge and agree that the 
37

statements and agreements of the Company in an Issuer Agreement are solely for the benefit of the applicable lenders party thereto and that in any dispute between the Company and the Purchaser Parties under this Agreement the Purchaser Parties shall not be entitled to use the statements and agreements of the Company in an Issuer Agreement against the Company.
Section IV.18Registration Statement.  The Company will use reasonable best efforts to cause there to be an effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock to be issued in any Additional Closing in advance of such Additional Closing, to the extent legally permissible.  In the event the shares of Common Stock to be issued in an Additional Closing are not registered at the time of consummation of such Additional Closing, the Company agrees that, within fifteen (15) Business Days after such Additional Closing, it will use reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement registering the resale of such shares of Common Stock and to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) sixty (60) calendar days after the filing thereof (or 120 calendar days after the filing thereof if the SEC notifies the Company that it will review such registration statement) and (ii) five (5) Business Days after the Company is notified by the SEC that such registration statement will not be reviewed or will not be subject to further review.

Article VI

PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS
Section VI.1Generally.  So long as the Purchaser Parties own any Purchased Preferred Shares, if the Company makes any public or non-public offering of any capital stock of, other equity or voting interests in, or equity-linked securities of, the Company or any securities that are convertible or exchangeable into (or exercisable for) capital stock of, other equity or voting interests in, or equity-linked securities of, the Company (collectively “Preemptive Securities”), including, for the purposes of this Article VI, warrants, options or other such rights (any such security, a “New Security”) (other than (1) issuances of any securities to directors, officers, employees, consultants or other agents of the Company, (2) issuances of any securities pursuant to an employee stock option plan, management incentive plan, restricted stock plan, stock purchase plan or stock ownership plan or similar benefit plan, program or agreement, (3) issuances made as consideration for any acquisition (by sale, merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation, or otherwise) by the Company of equity in, or assets of, another Person, business unit, division or business, (4) issuances of any securities issued as a result of a stock split, stock dividend, spin-off, reclassification or reorganization or similar event and (5) shares of a Subsidiary of the Company issued to the Company or a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company), the Purchaser Parties shall be afforded the opportunity to acquire from the Company its Preemptive Rights Portion of such New Securities for the same price and on the same terms as that offered to the other purchasers of such New Securities; provided, that the Purchaser Parties shall not be entitled to acquire any New Securities pursuant to this Article VI to the extent the issuance of such New Securities to the Purchaser Parties would require approval of the stockholders of the Company as a result of the Purchaser status, if applicable, as an Affiliate of the Company or pursuant to the rules and listing standards of the Nasdaq Global Market until the Company obtains such approval, and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain such approval as promptly as practicable.
Section VI.2Calculation of Preemptive Rights Portion.  Subject to the foregoing proviso in Section 6.1, the amount of New Securities that each Purchaser shall be entitled to purchase in the aggregate shall be determined by multiplying (1) the total number of such offered shares of New Securities by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of the Purchased Common Shares held by the Purchaser, as of such date, and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of such date (the “Preemptive Rights Portion”).
44

Section VI.3Preemptive Rights Notices and Procedures.  If the Company proposes to offer New Securities, it shall give the Purchaser written notice of its intention, describing the anticipated price (or range of anticipated prices), anticipated amount of New Securities and other material terms and timing upon which the Company proposes to offer the same (including, in the case of a registered public offering and to the extent possible, a copy of the prospectus included in the registration statement filed with respect to such offering) at least seven (7) Business Days prior to such issuance (or, in the case of a registered public offering, at least seven (7) Business Days prior to the commencement of such registered public offering) (provided that, to the extent the terms of such offering cannot reasonably be provided seven (7) Business Days prior to such issuance, notice of such terms may be given as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event prior to such issuance).  The Company may provide such notice to the Purchaser on a confidential basis prior to public disclosure of such offering.  Other than in the case of a registered public offering, the Purchaser may notify the Company in writing at any time on or prior to the second (2nd) Business Day immediately preceding the date of such issuance (or, if notice of all such terms has not been given prior to the second (2nd) Business Day immediately preceding the date of such issuance, at any time prior to such issuance) whether the Purchaser will exercise such preemptive rights and as to the amount of New Securities the Purchaser desires to purchase, up to the maximum amount calculated pursuant to Section 6.2.  In the case of a registered public offering, the Purchaser shall notify the Company in writing at any time prior to the second (2nd) Business Day immediately preceding the date of commencement of such registered public offering (or, if notice of all such terms has not been given prior to the second (2nd) Business Day immediately preceding the date of commencement of such registered public offering, at any time prior to the date of commencement of such registered public offering) whether the Purchaser will exercise such preemptive rights and as to the amount of New Securities the Purchaser desires to purchase, up to the maximum amount calculated pursuant to Section 6.2.  Such notice to the Company shall constitute a binding commitment by the Purchaser to purchase the amount of New Securities so specified at the price and other terms set forth in the Company’s notice to it.  Subject to receipt of the requisite notice of such issuance by the Company, the failure of a Purchaser to respond prior to the time a response is required pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall be deemed to be a waiver of the Purchaser’s purchase rights under this Article VI only with respect to the offering described in the applicable notice.
Section VI.4Purchase of New Securities.  The Purchaser shall purchase the New Securities that it has elected to purchase under this Article VI concurrently with the related issuance of such New Securities by the Company (subject to the receipt of any required approvals); provided, that if such related issuance is prior to the twentieth (20th) Business Day following the date on which the Purchaser has notified the Company that it has elected to purchase New Securities pursuant to this Article VI, then the Purchaser shall purchase such New Securities within twenty (20) Business Days following the date of the related issuance.  If the proposed issuance by the Company of securities which gave rise to the exercise by the Purchaser of its preemptive rights pursuant to this Article VI shall be terminated or abandoned by the Company without the issuance of any New Securities, then the purchase rights of the Purchaser pursuant to this Article VI shall also terminate as to such proposed issuance by the Company (but not any subsequent or future issuance), and any funds in respect thereof paid to the Company by the Purchaser in respect thereof shall be promptly refunded in full.
45

Section VI.5Consideration Other than Cash.  In the case of the offering of securities for consideration in whole or in part other than cash, including securities acquired in exchange therefor (other than securities by their terms so exchangeable), the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that such fair value as determined by the Board of Directors shall not exceed the aggregate market price of the securities being offered as of the date the Board of Directors authorizes the offering of such securities.
Section VI.6Miscellaneous.  The election by the Purchaser to not exercise its subscription rights under this Article VI in any one instance shall not affect its rights as to any subsequent proposed issuance.  The Company and the Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to facilitate the exercise of the Purchaser’s rights pursuant to this Article VI, including securing any required approvals or consents.
Article VII

MISCELLANEOUS
Section VII.1Survival.  Except for the Additional Closing Representations and the Purchaser Fundamental Representations, which shall survive until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Initial Closing Date (or, if any Additional Closing occurs, the third anniversary of the last Additional Closing Date), the representations and warranties contained in Article II and Article III hereof shall survive for six (6) months following the Initial Closing Date and then expire; provided that nothing herein shall relieve any party of liability for any inaccuracy or breach of such representations and warranties in the case of fraud.

(c)Such Persons further covenant not to bring a proceeding with respect to the Applicable Matters (or that could affect any Applicable Matter) other than in such Chosen Court and not to challenge or enforce in another jurisdiction a judgment of such Chosen Court.
(d)Process in any such proceeding may be served on any Person with respect to such Applicable Matters anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such Chosen Court.

(e)Waiver of Jury Trial.  EACH PARTY HERETO, FOR ITSELF AND ITS AFFILIATES, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR OTHER PROCEEDING (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

Section VII.7Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  This Agreement may be assigned (a) in connection with a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee permitted by Section 4.2(a), (b) as collateral security to any lender to the Purchaser; provided, however, that a Purchaser Party may assign its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement in whole or in part (including, without limitation, solely the right to purchase Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock at the Closings in accordance with Section 1.2) to one or more Permitted Transferees, including as contemplated in Section 4.2(a) and in the event of such assignment, the assignee shall agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, including the rights, interests and obligations so assigned and (c) as contemplated by Section 4.6(f).  No other assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto.  Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio. For the avoidance of doubt, any assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 4.2(f).
Section VII.8Headings.  The Section, Article and other headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
Section VII.9Amendments and Waivers.  This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument or instruments in writing signed by each party hereto.  Any party hereto may, only by an instrument in writing, waive compliance by any other party or parties hereto with any term or provision hereof on the part of such other party or parties hereto to be performed or complied with.  No failure or delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.  The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any term or provision hereof shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.  The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.
Section VII.10Interpretation; Absence of Presumption.
(a)For the purposes hereof:  (i) words in the singular shall be held to include the plural and vice versa and words of one gender shall be held to include the other gender as the context requires; (ii) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” and “herewith” and words of similar import shall, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole (including all of the Schedules and Exhibits) and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and Article, Section, paragraph, Exhibit and Schedule references are to the Articles, Sections, paragraphs, Exhibits, and Schedules to this Agreement unless otherwise specified; 
49

(iii) the word “including” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall mean “including, without limitation,” unless the context otherwise requires or unless otherwise specified; and (iv) the word “or”, “any” or “either” shall not be exclusive.  References to a Person are also to its permitted assigns and successors.  When calculating the period of time between which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded (and unless, otherwise required by Law, if the last day of such period is not a Business Day, the period in question shall end on the next succeeding Business Day).
(b)With regard to each and every term and condition of this Agreement and any and all agreements and instruments subject to the terms hereof, the parties hereto understand and agree that the same have or has been mutually negotiated, prepared and drafted, and if at any time the parties hereto desire or are required to interpret or construe any such term or condition or any agreement or instrument subject hereto, no consideration will be given to the issue of which party hereto actually prepared, drafted or requested any term or condition of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument subject hereto.
Section VII.11Severability.  Any provision hereof that is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions hereof, provided, however, that the parties will attempt in good faith to reform this Agreement in a manner consistent with the intent of any such ineffective provision for the purpose of carrying out such intent.
Section VII.12Specific Performance.  The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage could occur and that a party may not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their terms or were otherwise breached.  Accordingly, each party shall without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages or posting a bond be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms, provisions and covenants contained therein (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the right of the Company to specifically enforce the obligation of the Purchaser to cause the Equity Financing to be funded and the purchase of the Purchased Shares to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.  Under no circumstances will the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both (i) a grant of specific performance resulting in the consummation of the issuance of the applicable Purchased Shares in exchange for receipt in full by the Company of the applicable Purchase Price therefor, and (ii) the payment of monetary damages at any time.
Section VII.13Public Announcement.  Subject to each party’s disclosure obligations imposed by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange upon which its securities are listed, each of the parties hereto will cooperate with each other in the development and distribution of all news releases and other public information disclosures with respect to this Agreement and any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser will make any such news release or public disclosure without first 
50

consulting with the other, and, in each case, also receiving the other’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and each party shall coordinate with the party whose consent is required with respect to any such news release or public disclosure.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7.13 shall not apply to any press release or other public statement made by the Company or a Purchaser (a) that is consistent with prior disclosure and does not contain any information relating to the transactions that has not been previously announced or made public in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (b) is made to its auditors, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, limited partners or other Permitted Transferees.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall either this Section 7.13 limit disclosure by any Purchaser Party and their respective Affiliates of ordinary course communications regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to its existing or prospective general and limited partners, equityholders, financing sources, members, managers and investors of any Affiliates of such Person, including disclosing information about the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on their websites in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.
Section VII.14Purchaser Representative.  Each Purchaser Party hereby consents to and authorizes (a) the appointment of BCP Helios Aggregator L.P. as the Purchaser Representative hereunder (the “Purchaser Representative”) and as the attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of the Purchaser Party, and (b) the taking by the Purchaser Representative of any and all actions and the making of any decisions required or permitted by, or with respect to, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including (i) the exercise of the power to agree to execute any consents under this Agreement and (ii) to take all actions necessary in the judgment of the Purchaser Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing and all of the other terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.  Each Purchaser Party shall be bound by the actions taken by the Purchaser Representative exercising the rights granted to it by this Agreement, and the Company shall be entitled to rely on any such action or decision of the Purchaser Representative.  If the Purchaser Representative shall resign or otherwise be unable to fulfill its responsibilities hereunder, the Purchaser Parties shall appoint a new Purchaser Representative as soon as reasonably practicable by written consent of holders of a majority of the then outstanding Purchased Preferred Shares beneficially owned by the Purchaser or Purchaser Parties that are successors or assigns of the Purchaser by sending notice and a copy of the duly executed written consent appointing such new Purchaser Representative to the Company.
Section VII.15Non-Recourse.  Any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto or thereto (the “Contract Parties”) and then only with respect to the specific obligations of such party and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein or therein.  No Person other than the Contract Parties, including no member, partner, stockholder, unitholder, Affiliate or Representative thereof, nor any member, partner, stockholder, unitholder, Affiliate or Representative of any of the foregoing, shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) for any claims, causes of action, obligations, or liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with, or related in any manner to this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter or based on, 
51

in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter or their respective negotiation, execution, performance, or breach; and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, each of the Contract Parties hereby waives and releases all such liabilities, claims, causes of action, and obligations against any such third Person. 
Section VII.16Further Assurances.  From the date hereof until the termination of this Agreement, without further consideration, the Company and the Purchaser shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, appropriate or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Certificate of Designations and any and all other agreements or instruments executed and delivered to the Purchaser by the Company hereunder or thereunder, as applicable.
Section VII.17HSR Filings.
